7 Dale,
8 if I understood correctly, you want to set the contents of
9 /etc/resolv.conf and don't want dhcp to overwrite ir. Right?

19 I don't know about dhcpcd, but I'm using dhclient, and it works like this:
20 $cat /etc/resolv.conf
21 config_eth0=("dhcp")
22 modules_eth0=("dhclient")
23 dhcp_eth0="nodns"
24
25 I'm not sure the last line is necessary.
26 Then:
27
28 $ cat /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf
29 append option domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1
30
31 Substitute 127.0.0.1 by 8.8.8.8
