You can set name servers by hand in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf.
Would you want to prevent the DHCP daemon to set them, you could set a line
like:

request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
                domain-name, host-name;


(that is, you leave out "domain-name-servers") and then you can set your own
resolvers with:

append domain-name-servers ::ip:address:dns1, ::ip:address:dns2;

Or you could take the DHCPD's server and prepend your own with a line like
the abose with "prepend" instead of "append". I hope it's going to work with
IPv6 addresses too, I never tried it with those.
