You could continue to let it modify /etc/resolv.conf and use the 
"supercede" option to keep your custom info intact as in the following 
snippet from my own (slightly obfuscated) /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
script "/etc/dhcp3/dhclient-script";
supersede domain-name-servers 192.168.1.10, 192.168.1.11;
supersede netbios-name-servers 192.168.1.10, 192.168.1.11;
supersede domain-name "myinternaldomain.lan";
interface "eth1" {
     send dhcp-client-identifier 05:05:05:05:05:05;
     request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
                domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name;
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope this helps,


Terry.
