if I did you understand, you want to get an IP address by DHCP, but do not want to change dns? Then the entry in /etc/network/interfaces is correct. If you want to get changed it by DHCP, install the package resolveconf, then you get a sysmlink in /etc/resolfconf to a file, which is always overwritten by DHCP-server. You can also create a staticfile /etc/resolve.conf, where you can write your nameservers in. This file will never be overwritten. Did this help? If not, feeel free to ask more.
