You must be using either the devfsd package or the udev package. This creates
all the device nodes automatically, so anything you create manually will be
lost at the next reboot (when it build all the devices again). You need to
checkout the appropriate man pages for the correct package which tells you
how to set up your own links automatically in the configuration file.

man dhclient.conf is your friend. Look at the prepend statement, or the
sample at the end of the man page which shows how to add a dns value to the
values received from the server.
