According to the PPP-HOWTO:
http://www.nexttime.com/LDP/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO-8.html
the answer is no. However, I've found that it isn't very hard to figure
out what your ISP's name servers are by using nslookup. For example:
nslookup
set type=ns
chelmsford.com
will give you the one my ISP uses (they only have 1!). Of course you
have to have some name server set up in resolv.conf in order to do the
above. But as someone else already replied, you can often use someone
else's. Also, you could do this query initially on someone else's
computer.
