resolvconf writing invalid resolv.conf file

Every time I connect to my VPN I lose DNS with an error of,

"cannot parse /etc/resolv.conf"

The offending line is line 1 being an empty "domain". So after connecting to the VPN my resolv.conf file looks like this:

domain  
nameserver  10.10.150.163
nameserver  10.10.150.164
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
search Belkin

I have no idea where this is coming from... I'm using PFsense, Shrewsoft VPN client, and Linux Mint 17 KDE. If I delete the "domain" from resolv.conf everything works fine.

I've disabled dnsmasq, changed ifupdown managed from false to true in NetworkManager.conf, made sure that the domain statement isn't in base, head, or tail, removed the symlink from tail, ensured that my domain is configured correctly on pfsense, and a billion other things that escape me at the moment...
