If you want to set them yourself, just put them in /etc/resolv.conf and you're done. Rodolfo suggests the peerdns option to pppd, but that would ask your provider for the addresses, and as I read your request, that's not what you want. BTW, you can set the Red Hat interface controller to use peerdns or not with the PEERDNS=[yes/no] option in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-pppX. How do you get a static IP on a dialup?
