All the versions of PPP I know of that you can run on that Duo (or
any non-PPC Mac) will need to be told about DNS servers, through the
TCP/IP control panel - that includes OT-PPP 1.0, Remote Access 3.0
(same thing with Appletalk), and FreePPP. The reasons why are a long
story, but it has to do with poor organisation behind the PPP
standard and some "embrace and extend" on Microsoft's part (the
manner in which newer PPP software gets IP DNS settings is quite
broken and wrong, but it's become a de facto standard even though it
will never be part of the real one).
