The /etc/resolv.conf file is rewritten by dhclient, you can use the "prepend" statement in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to supply other nameservers, e.g. prepend domain-name-servers 192.0.2.1,192.0.2.42; will result in two nameserver entries in /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver 192.0.2.1 nameserver 192.0.2.42 that are put before the entry that is obtained from the DHCP server.
