Don't even need to go that far, do it with hard links:
ln /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolve.conf

Basicaly, that way you have two handles on the same file rather than go 
through a lookup/referral routine. Should save you some nanoseconds. Just 
make sure that if you ever delete it, you delete your link. Any program 
relying on the file will look for resolv.conf .

Or, you can do a shell alias in bashrc|bash.profile or your shell's rc script.
