I worked it out, by chance.
A look into the dhcp man pages, (dhcpclient.conf mainly, I think)
revealed that it's possible to create a configuration entry that adds
your desired nameserver values before the ones that the DHCP server returns.
So you just need to add something like this to dhcpclient.conf (I think
that's the file - read the man pages first)
interface "rl0" {
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
}
As I say, though, I'm not sure if that's the right file, so do a bit of
man-page browsing to check.
Once that's in place, "nameserver 127.0.0.1" appears at the top of
/etc/resolv.conf every time. So at least one thing is going the right way.
