I have an ASUS running 2.4-kernel 7.06. It is getting bad (slow/unusable) DNS servers from the ISP. I can't use static settings for the router either. Is there any way to work around this?

I've tried adding dns settings to the /etc/config/network file but no luck - they are ignored. I also tried rewriting the /etc/resolv.conf on boot in the /etc/init.d/custom-user-startup script but as soon as the DHCP lease is renewed it is over-written again. I currently have a cron job that is rewriting the /etc/resolv.conf file periodically but that isn't a long term solution.

Is there any way to trigger a script when the dhcp lease is renewed (possibly using hotplug)?

TIA

I update my DNS Servers from /etc/udhcpc.user.  The file I modify is /tmp/resolv.conf.auto.

I found the udhcpc docs here: http://udhcp.busybox.net/README.udhcpc. This indicates that the /usr/share/udhcpc/default.script file should be called anytime a lease is obtained or renewed. I can either tap into this file or figure out how to tap into hotplug since it looks like that file raises hotplug events.
