That's a solvable problem. I have something like this in my
/etc/dhcp/eventhook script (owner root, mode 755) because I run a
local caching named, and I want to make sure that it's used:
if [ "$2" = BOUND -o "$2" = EXTEND ]; then
(
echo domain mydomain.com
echo nameserver 127.0.0.1
for addr in `/sbin/dhcpinfo -i $1 DNSserv`; do
echo nameserver $addr
done
) > /etc/resolv.conf.new
if [ -f /etc/resolv.conf ]; then
if cmp -s /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.new; then
rm /etc/resolv.conf.new
else
mv /etc/resolv.conf.new /etc/resolv.conf
fi
else
mv /etc/resolv.conf.new /etc/resolv.conf
fi
fi
Not terribly elegant, but it works.

In that case, it sounds like you have trouble in /etc/nsswitch.conf
(what are hosts and ipnodes set to?) or in /etc/resolv.conf.
