Put:

supersede domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
 
into /etc/dhclient.conf. You can override anything you want. I have
my /etc/ppp/ip-up script write an /etc/resolv.conf file as well since the
resolv.conf may be wrong.

  I actually don't do the above, but rather, put a default one in, and then
override things in specific leases. When at sites with DHCP and a private
name server I *don't* want to listen to my name server. (Well, I'd rather
edit the "forwarding" lines, but I don't)
