>From the ppp-2.3.6 README: * Added new option `usepeerdns', thanks to Nick Walker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. If the peer supplies DNS addresses, these will be written to /etc/ppp/resolv.conf. The ip-up script can then be used to add these addresses to /etc/resolv.conf if desired (see the ip-up.local.add and ip-down.local.add files in the scripts directory). I will be adding support for this feature to pppconfig. The pppd man page is, as usual, obsolete and so doesn't mention this feature. -- John Hasler This posting is in the public domain.
