I'm trying to use the following statement in /etc/dhclient.conf

supersede domain-name-servers [127.0.0.1]:40;

But when the machine boots and the network starts it fails to apply the setting. The error message is:

/etc/dhclient.conf line 4: expecting decimal octet.
supersede domain-name-servers [127.0.0.1]:40;
                              ^
I've also tried quoting the value "[127.0.0.1]:40" and escaping it \[127.0.0.1\]:40 without success.

Using the resolv.conf.tail method is undesirable as I only want a single nameserver entry in /etc/resolv.conf

Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
