It's really funny that I should have been trying to help you with this and hit the same problem myself only a day later. Your pointer was most useful, but I went for a different fix which to me is more satisfying. Install bind9 and then edit /etc/bind/named.conf.options to point to the ISP's DNS servers in the "forwarders" clause. Then edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and un-comment the "prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;" line as advised in the article you link to, but change the word "prepend" to "supersede". That way you get *only* 127.0.0.1 in your /etc/resolv.conf file. Working beautifully for me here. It's very odd that it should be the routers running Linux which get it wrong. Mine does offer the means to upgrade the firmware but it's so no-name that there's absolutely no clue as to where one might get updated firmware from.
