You might be able to configure this in the dhclient.conf(5) file; 
Something like this:

interface "ep0" {
    request domain-name-servers;
}

This should only request the DNS server and not anything else. However, 
I never tested this configuration...

I'm not sure what you mean by that. But DHCP supports custom options, 
and I'm sure you can configure it somehow in the dhclient.conf(5) file 
as well.
