I used to do this; I ran it from dhclient-exit-hooks, and it was a simple sed(1) command. For a long time, I've been running my own local caching nameserver, and directing the DHCP clients to that, but I could dig out my old script if you have trouble with it. Although I would suggest you also consider setting up your own local caching nameserver; the caching behaviour can be a noticeable speed boost.
