Exactly. Since I have the honour to use a dialup connection regularly,
I'd rather have a forwarding-only DNS server, since that will cut down
the number of DNS packets on the dialup-link tremendously.

The dhclient/named hacks are all very nice, but additionally I'll need
the same in ppp.linkup.

Lucky you, but I'd rather go the local route, since this should always
work and be faster (provided the "ISP"'s named is not overloaded)

Don't know. Don't care.
