I want to add 127.0.0.1 at the top of my nameserver list in
/etc/resolv.conf, so I used this in dhclient.conf:

prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;

But this is not enough in my case, because the DHCP configuration from
my VPS provider makes /etc/resolv.conf to have this line at the end:

options rotate

The problem is that I don't want rotating nameservers, I want to use
127.0.0.1 most of the time.

The manpage for dhclient.conf should explain how to disable such line
(if there is a way at all to do so). Currently, it does not say anything.

Thanks.
