So there has to be a route to your ISP when diald brings up the connection
to your customer ... (and the ISP has to accept DNS requests from outside
its domain, and it will be somewhat less efficient, etc.).

Does everything work OK if both configuration files for both dialds have
"defaultroute" in them?  Is it just a coincidence or will it surely work
correctly?

Right, something like that is necessary.  I'm trying to figure out a way
to do it with named instead of /etc/hosts , but everything I've come up
with so far is kludgy.

There should be a cleaner way to do this ... mobile IP I guess.
