That is an easy answer,the initscripts that came with RH61 has a section
in ifup-ppp that reads:
if [ "${PEERDNS}" != no ] ; then
opts="$opts usepeerdns"
fi
just add # in front of these three lines and that "feature" will go away.
I had this put into a bugzilla report at RedHat and this "feature" has
been removed from later versions of initscripts.
So fix it by hand or upgrade initscripts.
