This is because resolv.conf updated are now handled by a script rather than 
the dhcpcd program itself. -C tells the main script not to run sub-scripts.

dhcpcd -C resolv.conf

works fine, and dhcpcd does not touch resolv.conf.

If routes are being added that cause lags in name lookups, then there is an 
issue with the routes the DHCP server is providing.

Can you provide details of what you expect your routing table to look like, 
what it does look like, and a captured DHCP transaction via tcpdump/wireshark?

Thanks
