This little bit of info solved my problem. I started taking a peek at
the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts on my mandrake 8.1 box, and all I had
to do was add the ifup-etho file the line "PEERDNS=yes"
I saw in the ifup script that was the switch that triggered this option,
and changing it there saves me from having to change it everytime I
change or add dhcp related software. That setting will affect whichever
DHCP client you are using.
