I guess you told pppconfig to assign DNS automatically?  If
/etc/resolv.conf isn't being updated, I'd suggest maybe it isn't.

Check that "usepeerdns" appears in /etc/ppp/peers/<connectionname>.  Add
it in if it isn't there.

The default config of bind in debian is fine for a caching nameserver. 
You should be able to stick "nameserver 127.0.0.1" in /etc/resolv conf
and have it just work.
