I did a quick search and found this link:

/etc/resolv.conf is the file I believe you should edit.

I believe that you want to add your providers domain.tld to this file so 
that your dns lookups automatically looks up 
<your_dhcp_name>.<providerdomain.tld> when you run a query for 
<your_dhcp_name>. Even if <your_dhcp_name> changes, having the domain 
suffix in /etc/resolv.conf should allow the query to complete successfully.

Hope this helps.
