You can write a script to fix resolv.conf right after dhclient ruined
it. The way to do it is to hook it from /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks
(which you'll need to create). Here's mine, which calls two other scripts (not
included), one of which only if the IP address actually changed. This one
also gets the new servers as arguments.


------------------------------ /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks

# nothing to do unless we're bound
case ${reason} in
        BOUND | RENEW | REBIND | REBOOT )
		[ -x /etc/set-ntp ] && . /etc/set-ntp
  		if [ -n "${new_domain_name_servers}" ]; then
		    if [ -z "${old_domain_name_servers}" ] || [ x${old_ip_address} != x{$new_ip_address} ]; then
			[ -x /etc/refresh-named ] && /etc/refresh-named ${new_domain_name_servers}
		    fi
		fi
