Its documented somewhere. Maybe in the dhclient scripts themselves. But 
to point you in the right direction create /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks 
and make it executable. Put something in it like this:

#!/bin/sh

make_resolv_conf() {
	# Don't do anything in this routine and /etc/resolv.conf
	# will not be mangled by dhclient.
	#
	# Otherwise read whatever values you want out of the
	# environment and write your own resolv.conf here.
}
