John,

In the /etc/group file, make a group (call it, say, "trusted") and 
put your three trusted users in it.

Then make the /etc/resolv.conf permissions

-rw-rw-r--    1 root     trusted       234 Jul 12 09:11 /etc/resolv.conf

If you _really_ want to lock things down, don't put anybody in the 
"trusted" group.  Just make the script that copies it setgid to 
"trusted".
