your ISP is supplying its DNS server settings via DHCP, this is whats
getting copied to /etc/resolv.conf for use by applications running on your
router.

I don't think thats correct. assuming you're running your own DNS server on
this 'router', try...

interface "eth0" {
  send dhcp-client-identifier 1:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
  prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; }



you need to change xx:xx:xx:xx... to your MAC address.

Thanks for the help!!

I guessing that's the MAC address for eth0?

TIA
