Hi Stuart, Good start but there is plenty more, on this issue you can pass an option to your pppoe scripts that doesn't update resolv.conf once you have it correct. You should be able to just remove the option that says usepeerdns in the connect scripts. Debian doesn't change DSL DNS servers in its pppoe package, so I guess it only applies to others.
