If it's a linux machine you can use an alternative resolv.conf with an
LD_PRELOAD hack

http://bw.uwcs.co.uk/b/brad_dns_hack for example. This uses
/var/tmp/dns/cnf instead of /etc/resolv.conf Then if you can write to
/var/tmp/dns/cnf you can use an up to date DNS server by adding
"nameserver 212.67.203.246".

I'm not sure if there's a similar hack for windows.
