You didn't mention how you connect to the internet, but it sounds like you
have a cable modem and get your IP/DNS info via DHCP.
All you really need to do is tell your DHCP client to override the DNS
servers provided by your ISP.
I don't know how to do this with pump; I use dhclient. I got it to work
by putting
supersede domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
in /etc/dhclient.conf.
