I don't know about dhcpcd, but I'm using dhclient, and it works like this:
$cat /etc/resolv.conf
config_eth0=("dhcp")
modules_eth0=("dhclient")
dhcp_eth0="nodns"
I'm not sure the last line is necessary.
Then:
$ cat /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf
append option domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1
Substitute 127.0.0.1 by 8.8.8.8
With dhcpcd you can do something similar. When I was setting up dnsmasq on my
system I found out you can create hooks for dhcpcd; for instance,
in /etc/dhcpcd.enter-hook I have (well, now "had"):
# Prepend localhost to the list of DNS servers
new_domain_name_servers="127.0.0.1 ${new_domain_name_servers}"
The resulting resolv.conf:
marcec marcec # cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by dhcpcd from eth0
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
search huntemann.uni-oldenburg.de
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 192.168.0.250
# /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line
However, the comments in resolv.conf indicate you you can create one or both of
/etc/resolv.conf.{head,tail}, which will be merged into /etc/resolv.conf
automatically! The resulting resolv.conf:
marcec marcec # cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by dhcpcd from eth0
# force localhost as first nameserver
nameserver 127.0.0.1
search huntemann.uni-oldenburg.de
nameserver 192.168.0.250
# /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line
So both methods are slighly different. I think I'll stick with the latter now,
as I think it's more correct. However, I'm not sure whether this works with
other DHCP clients or just for dhcpcd.

I read about the head/tail files but wasn't sure what they did or how it
worked. I need new glasses so I can see better. I spend more time
trying to read than being able to understand what I read. -_- <<==
That would be eyes closed.
I guess I could have created a head file and just put my prefs on top.
Thing is, I just removed the overlays so now I don't even need this.
lol Then again, those are faster than my ISPs servers. Still better off.
Thanks for the info. I learned something.
