Don't you just hate people that answer their own posts?

There are two copies of dhclient-script in Ubuntu 7.04. The obvious one
in /etc/dhcp3 and the not so obvious in /sbin If you comment out the
'mv -f $new_resolv....' in the /sbin version, and restart you network,
it would appear that this will stop resolv.conf being overwritten.

YMMV
