[PLUG] /etc/resolv.conf and DHCP

So I like to be able to go "ssh hostname" instead of "ssh
hostname.domain.com".  If I edit /etc/resolv.conf with "search domain1.com
domain2.com" then it tries all of those in order and saves me the trouble
of typing the domain name.
When I converted this rh9 machine over to DHCP, I found that
/sbin/dhclient-script overwrites /etc/resolv.conf and eliminates the
search parameter.  Is there any way to feed options like "search
domain1.com domain2.com" to dhcpd?  I can't figure out how.  Or is there a
another way, perhaps hacking /sbin/dhclient-script so that it doesn't
overwrite /etc/resolv.conf search parameters?

Any advice is appreciated.
