Thank you! pppd(8) has not had any serious work done on it for over two years, see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/pppd/main.c There was some talk in -net of dropping support for it altogether. The KPPP authors have so far declined to consider adding support for FreeBSD's ppp(8), due perhaps to their primarily Linux orientation. I suggest instead using either ppp(8) - which is extensively supported by the FreeBSD Handbook and in the mailing lists - or the net/mpd5 port, which uses in-kernel netgraph modules. Both support fetching upstream DNS addresses. I happily used ppp(8) for 10 years, but now prefer mpd. cheers, Ian
