You don't have to be an accessory to your router developer's dumbass idea of 
how to do name resolution. Just tell your work station what you want IT to 
use.

Do you know your ISPs name server? Try

dig a www.google.com @<ip-of-isp-ns>

If it works real quick, set that name server in resolv.conf and tell your 
local dhcp client to NOT overwrite resolv.conf
