The standard resolver is "dumb" on purpose, to be as simple as possible.
It was never intended to fulfill every possible DNS need.  As has been
pointed out, it would be trivial to do what you want with a local
resolver daemon (dnsmasq, unbound, bind), and point resolv.conf to
127.0.0.1.

If you have access to edit /etc/resolv.conf, you also have access to the
"nameserver" (aka the local machine).  I don't know why you are trying
to make this so difficult.
