Hey Madison,

Would something simple like backing up the version of resolv.conf that you 
want to use and then after logging in having that file copied in place using 
some kind of simple script work?  IMHO it lets DHCP do whatever the heck it 
wants and then you "fix" it in the background.

It's not a perfect solution but it sounds right to me.
