Package: isc-dhcp-client
Version: 4.2.2-2
Tags: ipv6

Following instructions from [1], I added

  prepend domain-name-servers 2001:4860:4860::8888, 2001:4860:4860::8844;

to /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf and ran /etc/init.d/networking restart.
The result:

| DHCPRELEASE on wlan0 to 192.168.1.1 port 67
| Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client 4.2.2

| 
| /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf line 21: semicolon expected.
| prepend domain-name-servers 2001:
|                                  ^
| /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf line 21: expecting a statement.
| prepend domain-name-servers 2001:4860:4860::8888, 2001:4860:4860::8844;
|                                                                        ^
| /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf line 23: semicolon expected.
| request 
|  ^

and the ISP's nameservers are used instead of the ones I requested in
/etc/resolv.conf.

  $ cat /etc/resolv.conf
  domain hsd1.il.comcast.net.
  search hsd1.il.comcast.net.
  nameserver 75.75.75.75
  nameserver 75.75.76.76

Known problem?

Curious,
Jonathan
