A sledgehammer approach to make it work:
Comment out the following lines from /sbin/dhclient-script
make_resolv_conf() {
if [ x"$new_domain_name_servers" != x ]; then
if [ "x$new_domain_name" != x ]; then
echo search $new_domain_name >/etc/resolv.conf
else
rm /etc/resolv.conf
fi
for nameserver in $new_domain_name_servers; do
echo nameserver $nameserver >>/etc/resolv.conf
done
fi
}
This will prevent dhcp from making a new /etc/resolv.conf file (on boot,
re-boot). Whatever nameserver you enter in /etc/resolv.conf will stay put.
(I had to take this approach some years ago when I was using an apple airport
basestation as my gateway, and the dhcp server software kept assigning
10.0.1.1 as my nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf.)
Check the dhclient.conf man page, too, for less drastic measures.
