I believe this is possible from pppd v 2.3.6 or so ... Look at the
option 'usepeerdns'
You can add 'usepeerdns' into you /etc/ppp/options file and then
add this into /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
if [ -n "$USEPEERDNS" -a -f /etc/ppp/resolv.conf ]; then
rm -f /etc/ppp/resolv.prev
if [ -f /etc/resolv.conf ]; then
cp /etc/resolv.conf /etc/ppp/resolv.prev
grep search /etc/ppp/resolv.prev > /etc/resolv.conf
grep nameserver /etc/ppp/resolv.prev >> /etc/resolv.conf
cat /etc/ppp/resolv.conf >> /etc/resolv.conf
else
cp /etc/ppp/resolv.conf /etc
fi
chmod 644 /etc/resolv.conf
fi
AND this into ip-down.local to restore the original state
if [ -n "$USEPEERDNS" -a -f /etc/ppp/resolv.conf ]; then
if [ -f /etc/ppp/resolv.prev ]; then
cp -f /etc/ppp/resolv.prev /etc/resolv.conf
else
rm -f /etc/resolv.conf
fi
chmod 644 /etc/resolv.conf
fi
---- I believe the sample script is a part of pppd distribution

Subject: How to receive DNS IP with a Linux PPP dialup?
