Joe you're scaring me. 8-}
That's my setup exactly.

But I'm confused about the forwards you mentioned.

I uncommented this line. There is also more in this file ...

prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;

send dhcp-lease-time 3600;
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
	domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name;
require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers;
timeout 60;
retry 60;
reboot 10;
select-timeout 5;
initial-interval 2;
script "/sbin/dhclient-script";

#media "-link0 -link1 -link2", "link0 link1";
#reject 192.33.137.209;
