No t his is not the correct way to do this but it wi ll work. When you use the usepeerdns option to pppd; it stashes the dns server information in /etc/ppp/resolv.conf. the scripts called as part of /etc/ppp/ip-up should copy this into a place where the resolver can see them for example: cp /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.org cp /etc/ppp/resolv.conf /etc and then in the /etc/ppp/ip-down set of scripts: cp /etc/resolv.conf.org /etc/resolv.conf Debian sources all scripts in t he /etc/ppp/ip-up.d directory as part of /etc/ppp/ip-up script and t he same for /etc/ppp/ip-down.d scripts. this may help yo u figure out th e "right" thing to do wit h redhat.
