It appears that Rich wants to use DNS, since presumably, he is operating
a nameserver with Split Zones, which means it simply reports one set of
AUTH data to the general public, and another 'augmented' set of AUTH
zone data to a limited amount of clients that includes private or other
IPs not intended for the public.

The problem he's experiencing is due to the DHCP server[s] handing out
nameservers that don't have the zone data he desires.

There's an easy way to address this situation, and that's by
incorporating /etc/resolv.conf.head and /etc/resolv.conf.tail files.

No messy scripts for non-priv users ;)

I hope that helps!

Kindest regards,
