The Debian linux dhclient-script (originally from NetBSD) contains
this function

make_resolv_conf() {
  echo search $new_domain_name >/etc/resolv.conf
  for nameserver in $new_domain_name_servers; do
    echo nameserver $nameserver >>/etc/resolv.conf
  done
}

and calls it when

if [ x$reason = xBOUND ] || [ x$reason = xRENEW ] || \
   [ x$reason = xREBIND ] || [ x$reason = xREBOOT ]; then
  # lots of config stuff elided #
  make_resolv_conf
  exit_with_hooks 0
fi

or

if [ x$reason = xTIMEOUT ]; then
  # stuff elided #
  ############## what is -w in ping?
  if ping -q -c 1 $1; then
    # stuff elided #
    make_resolv_conf
    exit_with_hooks 0
  fi
  ifconfig $interface inet down
  exit_with_hooks 1
fi

exit_with_hooks 0
# end script #

Look familiar?
