Re: [SLUG] Manipulating DNS - some progress to report

 I then went and looked at the man page for dhclient and saw that there  
 can be such a thing as a dhclient.conf file.  I don't have one in /etc/  
 so I created /etc/dhclient.conf with the following lines:

SNIP

 which seems to accord with the man page, but it appears (judging by a  
 strace) that neither dhclient nor dhclient-script looks at that file.

the man page should have provided some guidance but see if you have a
directory /etc/dhcp/ or /etc/dhcp3/ that dhclient might be looking in.

 Nuffink, just /etc/dhcpd.conf (which I only use when I have interface  
 eth1 running), and /etc/dhclient.conf which I have just created.

 I might try creating a /etc/dhcp/ directory and the symlinking into it.

 I tried that but it didn't do the trick.

which distribution? what dhclient version?

cheers
