Usually for dial up ppp connections one would want to use the DNS server 
provided by the service provider. You can do this by editing the file 
"/etc/ppp/options" and adding the line:

usepeerdns

Other interesting options you might want to add for better performance are:

bsdcomp 15 15
deflate 15 15

These options would enable compression of  data over the connection if the 
dial-in server supports it.

For more parameters to tune, do a 'man ppp'.

HTH

Steve
