This can be achieved with the script /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks that
will create the file with named 'forwarders' clause using values
from 'new_domain_name' and 'new_domain_name_servers' variables that
are exported to the hooks script by /sbin/dhclient-script.  The
former file can be included from named.conf, so the restart or
reload of the local named instance from the exit hooks script will
do the trick.

Did you meant that?
