The nameservers in resolv.conf are tried in order. You can simply put
127.0.0.1 first, followed by the other servers. This only adds a few seconds
to the startup, it not like the timeouts of several minutes that you get when
no nameserver is available.
If your problem is that the external nameservers come from dhcp then just add
the line
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
to /etc/dhclient.conf
