the dns stuff is relatively easy:
---------
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/dhclient.conf,v 1.2 1999/08/27 23:23:41 peter Exp $
#
# This file is required by the ISC DHCP client.
# See ``man 5 dhclient.conf'' for details.
#
# In most cases an empty file is suffient for most people as the
# defaults are usually fine.
#
supersede domain-name "hub.org";
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1, 216.126.84.1, 131.162.2.45;
-----------
it still adds "their servers" as backup server 4 and 5, but at least mine
have to time out several times before it hits :)
