Some software will let you override what's in resolv.com in its configuration, for example squid and spamassassin can be configured to use DNS servers that aren't in resolv.conf. Also if you are using something like a ppp or dhcp client that overwrites resolv.conf, you might want to specify additional or alternate servers in their configuration.
