A fix was just announced on the Cooker list. Here is Florin's post

ok, this is fixed now ...
make sure that the /sbin/dhclient-script file is like this :
function make_resolv_conf() {
if [ -n "$new_domain_name" -o -n "$new_domain_name_servers" ]; then
[ -n "$new_domain_name" ] && echo search $new_domain_name
>/etc/resolv.conf
for nameserver in $new_domain_name_servers; do
....
or wait for the next dhcp-client package ...
