The routers option in dhcpd.conf seems to do it.  The DHCP client configures 
its default gateway according to this option.  By the way, if you use DHCP to 
configure your nameservers, the client (at least, on RH 6.2) overwrites 
/etc/resolv.conf.  I know because I had a couple of lines in that file 
commented out.
