When I used to use dhclient I tried that.

Didn't like it. There's more to resolv.conf than just server lines, and
I didn't find hooks to put the other content in (the search directive
especially). I'd love to find a clean way to have dhclient handle
that--my search directive has 3 domains, and I need that capability.
