You might want to look at the "resolvconf" package.

if you use pump for a dhcp client, there are a couple of ways to tell it not to update the DNS resolver configuration (add '-d' in the init script, or even better put 'device eth0 { nodns }' in pump.conf)
if you don't use pump, you can either look for a similar feature in your dhcp client or simply 'apt-get install pump' (it will replace your current client)

supersede domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
"man dhclient.conf" for more details

dhclient-script provides the enter and exit hooks for local customizations to to override the default behaviour of the client in creating a /etc/resolv.conf file.
After all processing has completed, /etc/dhclient-script checks for the presence of the /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks script, which if present is invoked using the '.' command.
