I see what you're trying to do, but what I don't get is why not just
get rid of the appropriate entries from the request line in the
dhclient.conf (domain-name-servers, time-offset)?  Also, does this
configuration help you when you first boot up?  How do you get the
initial configuration if you happen to be on a different network?
