I've been doing the dhclient kickoff, then sucking the DNS entries out
of /etc/resolv.conf into the named.conf file, starting the local named,
and putting 127.0.0.1 in my resolv.conf for quite a while now. This:

sucks the IPs from /etc/resolv.conf and the whole incantation after DHCP
has run is:

  if rig-named.conf
  then
    bsed '/nameserver/d' /etc/resolv.conf
    echo nameserver 127.0.0.1 >>/etc/resolv.conf
  fi

bsed and rlr come from the same script collection.
