I have connected many ppp links simultaneously, but all with same
/etc/resolve.conf. Actually you may not change your mailconfig, and DNS.
But, you will have to enter a static routing, if you want all your mail
delivered through a particular ISP, if that link is not the default
route. You need atleast one default route that is capable of resolving
your dns requests. What I normally do is do start the first ppplink that
will be the default route, and the rest of them are configured without
defaultroute option when I start the pppd.
