You want to configure this behavior in ppp. ppp offers packet filtering with 
the ability to allow/deny packets during certain states of operation, one of 
them being "dial". See /usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample around line 
280 to see how you prevent DNS packets from initiating a dial up. man ppp may 
also shed some light on your problem.
