Maybe /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf?

If you don't see it there search for it:
 find /etc -name dhclient.conf -print

Once you find it, just do this:
 echo "supersede domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;" >>
/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf

That should be all one line.  Don't forget the semicolon and the
double-quotes, and of course substitute the IP address you need.

Then, check your work like this, you should see your supersede statement on
the last line:
 tail /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf

If that goes according to plan, just restart dhclient:
 killall dhclient && dhclient
  -or-
 killall dhclient3 && dhclient


Let me know how that goes.
