Here is a shell script snippet that I use on my laptop. It gets
called from make_resolv_conf() in /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks, where I
make sure not to overwrite /etc/resolv.conf (it always points to
localhost). Extracting nameserver addresses from resolv.conf is
trivial, though.
A prerequisite is that the "forwarders" clause in named.conf is on a
single line by itself, for example:
forwarders { 192.168.250.254; };

LOGGER=echo
named_conf=/etc/namedb/named.conf
# Args: one or more nameserver IPs
update_forwarders() {
address_list=
for nameserver in $* ; do
test X$nameserver = X127.0.0.1 && continue # Stupid server...
address_list="$address_list $nameserver;"
done
address_list="{ $address_list };"
sed_command='/^options/,/^}/s/\([^#\/]*\)forwarders.*/\1forwarders'
sed_command="$sed_command $address_list/"
sed "$sed_command" $named_conf > $named_conf.dhcp
if cmp -s $named_conf $named_conf.dhcp; then :
else
$LOGGER "New DNS servers: $*"
if [ ! -f $named_conf.org ]; then
cp $named_conf $named_conf.org
fi
cp $named_conf.dhcp $named_conf
ndc reload
fi
return 0
}

It is more elegant in perl, but dhclient-enter-hooks is a shellscript,
so it felt easier to just add it there.
