Permanently changing nameserver

[Bruce Labitt]

The dhcp server is the router and the options are quite limited.  I can
reserve an existing ip address, but not add in an unserved address.

Is there a way to do this from the client side?  The client needs to have
the nameserver changed.
I Tried editing resolv.conf (that's only temporary) so I could update the
node.  Then later edited /etc/network/interfaces.  This seems to have
worked, but I don't know that it is permanent, since I have not restarted
networking or the RPI2 itself.
