hi,

this is not the correct list to ask, but anyway.
"man dhclient.conf" would learn you to use supersede and prepend 
statements.


        interface "xl0"  {
                         supersede domain-name "yourdomainname.com";
                         prepend domain-name-servers www.xxx.yyy.zzz;
                         }

adjust xl0 to your dhclient interface,
yourdomain is search first for hostname lookups
xyz is prefered first nameserver in the resolv.conf
