you need to add something to your dhclient.conf file to tell it not to
overwrite whwen dhclient runs.

You use the supersede command.

Its just a case of adding the likes of:

supersede domain-name "www.example.org "
supersede nameserver <DNS IP HERE> 

etc. 
that should do the trick??

if im wrong try good ole:
man 5 dhclient.conf

that should tell you exactly what to put
-- 
Theres no place like ::1
