dhcp server and isp's dns...

I'm setting up a router/dhcp server, and my router gets its IP and DNS
info via DHCP from my ISP.

How can I pass the DNS info along to my clients when the DNS info is
dynamically assigned? I see in the DHCP howto that you can do it easily
if they are static, but what about dynamic?

And what's the best way to add the
/sbin/route add -host 255.255.255.255 dev eth1
thing automatically? In the /etc/init.d/dhcp script? I'm using debian,
and am worried that file will be overwritten every time dhcp is
updated via apt-get... is this a valid concern?
