It doesn't, that file only shows what the dhcp server told dhcpcd to use.
It is not used by your system for dns information.
/etc/resolv.conf lists the dns servers your system uses. (nameserver)

Configure dhcpcd to run with -R so resolve.conf is not replaced with the
resolve directives recieved from the dhcp server.
In /etc/conf.d/net:
config_eth0=("dhcp")
dhcpcd_eth0="-R"
Now you can add/replace your own dns servers in /etc/resolve.conf
