[Tfug] Spooty DHCP! I want static DNS settings!

Using Debian sid on a laptop, with DHCP to get it's IP addy. (dhcp3, 
correct?)

Anyway, I want to use my own settings for DNS servers and search settings. 
I.e., I want to have my own resolv.conf file that ain't erased whenever 
DHCP gets its new IP addy.

Anyone know how I can make dhcp not overwrite this file? (Short of 
changing the startup scripts, which I don't wanna do ;-)

*: Why do I wanna do this? Well, I have my reasons. The least of which 
being that the COX.net DNS servers have been blowing chunks lately and oft 
wont resolve important things to me like Debian.org and Samhart.net!
