    I've not yet come up with a good way to configure this behavior, other
    than the bit that turns of the resolv.conf updating (touch
    /etc/dhclient-no-resolv-conf).

    /var/run/named.forwarders is updated with a Bind named.conf forwarders
    configuration section containing all DHCP provided nameservers. The
    Makefile is placed in /etc/namedb and /etc/namedb/named.conf is moved to
    /etc/named.conf.in and modified to include the lines:

             forward only;
    #include "/var/run/named.forwarders"

    This will cause the nameserver to never perform recursive queries directly
    but to forward everything to the listed forwarders.

    I'm open to suggestions on where to place the configuration knobs for this
    functionality.
