My kernel does the same, but pppd works fine.

I've just gone through this, so there's a very slight chance I can 
help. Are you  using Greg Lehey's DNS configuration for a standalone 
host? What error messages do you get when you HUP named? Can you 
telnet? nslookup?

I made two obvious mistakes when I was trying to configure my DNS; I 
kept forgetting to put the final dots after the final domain names in 
the files where this is necessary, and I tried to use a local domain 
name with an underscore.
