derek othello:~$ grep append /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
append domain-name " acad.athabascau.ca mathstat.dal.ca bio.dfo.ca";

This ensures I get the domain returned by my local network (either at work or 
home - returned by DHCP), the domains for the two universities I work with, 
and the secondary domain at work that really should be returned  by DHCP.

Or you can use "prepend" if you prefer the static domains to be before the 
DHCP returned one.
