A correct way to fix this is to "persuade" your DHCP server not to
provide DNS information.
Even more correct way is to force your DNS-at-DHCP to use 8.8.8.8 as
forwarder DNS.
Since it's unnaturally complex to do so in a consumer-grade routers, a
hack is in order.
But won't that send local host lookups to google which won't have a clue?
Why won't it have a clue?
Because google doesn't know what names you use on your local network.
Once one starts using 8.8.8.8 - it will. Even it won't show it.
Friends don't let friends use Google resolvers.
A software that's using "Four Eights" by default was considered buggy in
Debian back in the day.
To
implement local lookups you need a name server which can selectively either
serve a local name or forward the request to an internet name server.
Avahi, anyone?
That
can't be done in resolv.conf, but can be done either centrally or locally
via unbound or similar.
Or, /etc/hosts. For a simple household network how hard could it be?
