Well, it does (in /etc/init.d/domainname). But this is obviously
overwritten in your case by dhcp settings.

You're right with that OVERRIDE=1 doesn't fix this. Another start
of /etc/init.d/domainname should. The OVERRIDE flag just decides
whether the new "domain" setting goes to the start or the bottom
(OVERRIDE=1) of /etc/resolv.conf (that has influence, because
resolv.conf(5) says: "the last instance wins"). So what's probably
missing is another call to /etc/init.d/domainname after DHCP has set up
the interface.
