pppd does allow this. I don't use kppp so I'm not sure how to specify it
using kppp. But if there is a place to specify additional options for pppd
try adding "usepeerdns". This will make pppd add the DNS entries received
from your ISP to your /etc/resolv.conf if no nameserver entries exist,
otherwise it will overwrite the first two nameserver entries in resolv.conf.

> I hate to tell you this but I could almost swear that pppd does not allow
this. I think that it is not called Dynamic DNS though. I think I read in
the ppp Howto that "pppd does not allow this and won't likely in the
future", you might want to check the Howto. I even think the howto says the
only way to do it is to argue with your ISP and get them to give you the DNS
server address's.
