The question seem clear enough.

So since you are running `dhcpcd' at home. Dhcpcd has a (now
depricated) `-c' flag that can be used to run any file you want.

You could use it to run a script that extracts the information from 
/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info  (Where it should be listed if your home IP
server is sending it).   And overwrites /etc/resolv.conf with the new info.

If you are running dhcpcd from /sbin/ifup, you can find where the
flags are set in that script and add the -c flag pointing to the
home grown script.
