Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2003-07-29 19:24:42 UTC 
If you set 
PEERDNS=no
in your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 
script using the latest dhclient from rawhide this problem will go away.
Comment 2 Ken Brooks 2006-04-06 15:49:05 UTC 
Looking in the script, it appears to be
PEERNTP=no
not PEERDNS=no

In a simple test, this seemed to work.
