   If you're using some Linux variations, see   
   http://www.google.com/search?q=resolve.conf+dhcp   
      
   For some other brands, see   
   http://www.google.com/search?q=resolve.conf+dhcp+isc   
      
   It might be effective to hack on a shell script named dhclient-script   
   on many brands.   
   http://www.google.com/search?q=dhclient-script+resolv.conf   
      
   `man dhclient.conf` on systems running ISC's DHCP client seems to   
   suggest that "supersede" or "prepend domain-name-servers ..."   
   or "domain-name" might avoid needing to change dhclient-script
