 Strikes me as pilot error to be honest.
 If the DCHP server doesn't provide nameservers, and you're not overriding them,
 then you'll end up with nothing there.
 
 If you wish to insert some information into /etc/resolv.conf,
 that's what the supersede statement in dhclient.conf is for, viz.
 
 # cat /etc/dhclient.conf
 interface "ed0" {
 	supersede domain-name "private.submonkey.net";
 	prepend domain-name-servers 192.168.10.1;
 }
