Search the archives.  This was discussed in-depth a week or two ago.
Some windows dhcp server returns the \000 in the response and dhclient
is dutifully recording it in resolv.conf.  I don't recall the
solution(s) because I don't operate in an environment with a windows
dhcp server, the the archives have the solution(s).
