From the ppp man pages:
Alternatively, if the peer supports it, ppp can be configured to ask
the peer for the nameserver address(es) and to update
/etc/resolv.conf automatically. Refer to the ``enable dns'' and
``resolv'' commands below for details.

| named.conf. So, my resolve looks like this:
|
| BEFORE REBOOT:
| domain mydomain.net
| search mydomain.net
| nameserver 127.0.0.1
| nameserver xxx.xxx.xx.201
| nameserver xxx.xxx.xx.201
|
| AFTER REBOOT:
| domain mydomain.net
| search mydomain.net
| nameserver xxx.xxx.xx.201
| nameserver xxx.xxx.xx.201
|
| As shown, the localhost gets removed and stops using my localhost
| nameserver to first look for DNS in the local cache instead of outside. So,
| after reboot, I have to overwrite the resolv.conf and reload into memory to
| make it stop looking outside first for DNS.

| that out of ppp and not upset anything else...??? That would probably leave
| the resolv file alone.
