search path in resolv.conf overwritten by the hostname after reboot

Before reboot,
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
nameserver 172.20.10.22
search mycomp.local myhost.com

After reboot, the search path in resolv.conf is overwritten by the
hostname.
Please help to setup the search path properly.
Thanks.
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
nameserver 172.20.10.22
search penguin

I do not want to apply the brute force method:
# chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

$ cat /etc/dhclient.conf
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers, domain-name, domain-
name-servers, host-name, nis-domain, nis-servers;

My computer use FC6:
$ uname -a
Linux penguin 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 #1 SMP Mon Oct 16 14:54:20 EDT 2006
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Change /etc/dhclient.conf not to request domain-name, or request
domain-search and configure the dhcp server to provide the search path,
or create a dhclient-exit-hook script. Ubuntu uses scripts in
/etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d; Fedora may be different. By the way,
you might consider upgrading to a newer version of Fedora.

All you need to do is add a file /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks that
contains:
make_resolv_conf( ) {
logger -t "dhclient-enter-hooks" "Doing nothing to /et/
resolv.conf"
}
