For what it's worth, back when I had DHCP on my main system at home
(I've now got statics), I would set PARAM_IGNORE_LIST in
/etc/default/dhcpagent to 6,15 (DNSserv,DNSdmain), and then configure
/etc/resolv.conf manually.  If you don't want junk from your ISP at all,
this seems like the most supportable way to go.

You can then run a caching /usr/sbin/named, point the resolver to
127.0.0.1, and you're in good shape.

If you want a combination of the ISP's data and your own (which is how I
interpreted the request the first time I read it), then you have to
resort to the sort of script hackery I suggested.  But a complete
override is simple.
