Hi,

Looking through pppd sources I found that it doesn't know how
to request DNS info from the server, while ppp can.
Here I mean requesting DNS info and updating /etc/resolv.conf.
Did anyone tried to make it possible with pppd?
Since I used to pppd I'd like to teach him this useful functionality.
