That's doing it the hard way.
Put something similar to the following in /etc/dhclient.conf (adjust the
interface name to whatever is appropriate for your system):
interface "dc0" {
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
}
You can prepend some stuff to the domain name search order (and lots of
other stuff, if you need to); see the man page for dhclient.conf for
details.
