It's not possible to do it with a Windows service that updates resolv.conf whenever a new DHCP lease is obtained, or, if that's not possible, a cronjob that periodically polls for new nameservers obtained from DHCP? I don't know enough about Windows to know if there's an API for accessing the required information.
