I thought that a resolv.conf should have ip's not hostname's as
nameserver's.

what i believe you want /etc/resolv.conf to look like is as below

============= resolv.conf =============
search telstra.com.au
nameserver 139.130.4.5
nameserver 203.50.0.24
============= resolv.conf =============

i got these 2 ip's from ns1.telstra.net and ns1.telstra.net.au
