You can set up a local DNS server using named. This is what I do for my mail server. I do use NetBSD on that machine though but the set up won't much different. You would need to configure your router to always assign the same ip to your machine and configure your network interface to use that ip, possibly within /etc/rc.conf. That way the dhclient won't override the entries you put in /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf when it boots-up. That might be a solution to your problem, perhaps others could confirm that for sure.
