I don't think this does what you want. From the pppd man page:
ms-dns <addr>
If pppd is acting as a server for Microsoft Windows
clients, this option allows pppd to supply one or
two DNS (Domain Name Server) addresses to the
clients. The first instance of this option speci�
fies the primary DNS address; the second instance
(if given) specifies the secondary DNS address.
(This option was present in some older versions of
pppd under the name dns-addr.)
This seems to imply that pppd will *supply* DNS server entries to MS clients
connecting to it, not obtain DNS server entries from remote side for your
client, which would be the case if a Linux box were connecting to an ISP.
