Its is probably dbclient doing it.  I had the same problem

Take a look at man dbclient.conf, and especially the prepend statement.  
I initially had the prepend at a global level but it wasn't working.  
Instead I followed the example in the man page and placed inside an

interface "eth0" {
...
    prepend domain-name-servers 10.0.0.5
}
