Q: How do I get dhclient to stop rewriting my resolv.conf?

A: Edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [Debian] and add something like this:

supersede domain-name "prolixium.com";
supersede domain-name-servers 10.3.4.6, 10.3.4.4;

The incorrect way is to hack /sbin/dhclient-script. Avoid it.

The easy way is:

chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

dhclient won't be able to write to it, and will move on.
