The documentation at /usr/share/doc/initscripts-x.x./sysconfig.txt says that this will "modify /etc/resolv.conf [...] if using pump or dhcpcd. default to 'yes'". As dhclient is the replacement for pump/dhcpcd I'm going to assume that it does the same thing and that you want to set argument to "no". I'm guessing that you can also set this through the graphical network tool that RH provides "neat", which is accessible by Start->System-Settings->Network, or "/usr/bin/neat" or "redhat-config-network", but I haven't done it that way.
