The latter process follows the former. Also, using BOOTP in arachne.cfg, wattcp.cfg, config.tel, etc. with epppd or lsppp, refers to how the application gets the values from the packet driver, not how the packet driver gets the values from the ppp server. The packet driver gets the values from the server (and puts them in ip-up.bat), before the application is run and any BOOTP requests are sent. Lsppp can get DNS numbers from the server, but epppd cannot, so that they must be known in advance in order to pass them to epppd as arguments (in pppdrc.cfg).
