    Maybe this info from "man dhclient.conf" will be helpful?
     
    The do-forward-updates statement
            do-forward-updates [ flag ] ;
    If you want to do DNS updates in the DHCP client script (see dhclient-
    script(8)) rather than having the DHCP client do the update directly
    (for example, if you want to use SIG(0) authentication, which is not
    supported directly by the DHCP client, you can instruct the client not
    to do the update using the do-forward-updates statement. Flag should
    be true if you want the DHCP client to do the update, and false if you
    don't want the DHCP client to do the update. By default, the DHCP
    client will do the DNS update.
