dhclient and /etc/resolv.conf

Hi All,

This is probably something thats been asked a million times, but I need to
ask anyway because googling for the answer, just points me to solutions
for netbsd/openbsd, and the freebsd handbook hasnt really helped either.

Short question, how do i stop dhclient from overwriting /etc/resolv.conf,
reason being is I have Bind running on the same box, and i have my
nameserver set tp 127.0.0.1 -its annoying to have to keep changing this.
is there any mechanism from rc.conf that I can set to change the
behaviour?

Thanks!
Alex

How about

supersede domain-name-servers;

in dhclient.conf ?
