Sure it does. The manpage of ppp(8) includes:
8. Ask your ISP to authenticate your nameserver address(es) with
the line
enable dns
Do NOT do this if you are running a local DNS unless you
also either use ``resolv readonly'' or have ``resolv
restore'' in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkdown, as ppp will simply
circumvent its use by entering some nameserver lines in
/etc/resolv.conf.
