Either configuration or command line options, e.g. for dhcpcd it 
is a command line option. However, in many case the script that 
start the client (init.d scrips?) often has configuration file 
allowing one to put necessary options without changing the 
script.

BTW, for dhcpcd the script is named "dhcpcd.exe" under its 
configuration directory; read man dhcpcd. BTW in my case when I 
need override the DNS I choose using script since I don't want 
to throw away the DNS from DHCP, just to make it lower priority.

Ah, yes, apparently debian thing (good idea, but doesn't seem to 
be adopted by Fedora as yet). In that case 
"/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head" should do the trick. :-)
