Gateway doesn't need to be there, [in /etc/resolv.conf].
Need nameservers, [domain name servers]
and fastest one should be listed first, second one is only for backup.
If you have a caching name server on your LAN, that one should be listed 
first, the remote one, as backup, on the next line.
i.e.
nameserver ####.##.#.#
nameserver ###.##.#.#
