Most DHCP clients allow you to override configuration sent by the DHCP
server. I am using this on my home LAN server in /etc/dhclient.conf:
supersede domain-name "grep.be debian.org";
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
which results in a resolv.conf like this:
search grep.be debian.org
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver <first nameserver provided by my ISP>
nameserver <second nameserver provided by my ISP>
I'm doing something similar on rock, my workstation, but I'm not using
dhclient there. However, I seem to be unable to find out how, exactly, I
configured it there -- and it's been a few years since I did this.
