Unfortunately I can't get my DSL modem to turn off it's DNS 'feature'.  
I tried the advanced setup and it was no luck.  I'm trying your 
dhclient.conf method, however it isn't working.  I read the manpage, and 
I can't figure out why.  This is what I have in dhclient.conf:

interface "vr0" {
        prepend domain-name-servers 205.171.2.65;
        prepend domain-name-servers 205.171.3.65;
}

Any clue why this might not work?

Thanks for the help!
