As you discovered, you can configure the client to work in the way that
you want. But this sounds like your server needs some tweaking.
The issue was that I wanted to use a local caching name server, forwarding
to the nameservers offered by the DHCP server. Ideally an updated
named.conf would be written, not resolv.conf. But I decided to forgo
forwarding and just make it use root hints. I had it secondary the local
LAN's zone file so that it could resolve local names.
