Hmm I don't think that you are right. What you are talking of is the following
from /etc/ppp/ip-down:
awk '{if(!/nameserver .* # ppp temp entry.*/) print $0}' > /etc/resolv.conf
That means that all lines "nameserver ........... # ppp temp entry" are
deleted. The rule is not applied to a line there only "# ppp temp entry" is
in. That means the DNS are written in /etc/resolv.conf if # ppp temp entry is
in /etc/resolv.conf

Try writing a line
# ppp temp entry
in /etc/resolv.conf . Then ip-up should write the dynamic nameserver in
/etc/resolv.conf

Well disagree, see above. At least thats what I read from the code.

Well I must admit that under 9.1 I doesn't get written the temporary DNS to
/etc/resolv.conf . But under 9.2b1 it is working as explained above.
If you wish I can fully pots ip-up /ip-down and explain what I think what
happens.
