When i tryed that option a while ago it worked for me, however you can always do things in many different ways with linux, simply make a copy of /etc/resolv.conf and edit it to your needs and rename it something like resolv.good. Now place the following in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file cp /etc/resolv.good /etc/resolv.conf rc.local is the last file to be executed which means you now have what you want. I ask myself why you get the wrong info everytime from your dhcp server tho. Surely its better to solve the problem at the root instead of working around it.
