pppd doesn't support this. Just pick the best set of dns servers and put
them in /etc/resolv.conf.

pppconfig should have put these in the provider files. You don't need to
put them anywhere else.

Put /etc/ppp/options back the way it was. It is just for global defaults.
The options in the provider files override the ones in /etc/ppp/options.

Put /etc/ppp/options back the way it was set up by the ppp package. Then
run pppconfig once for each provider, giving each one a different name and
filling in all the blanks for each one (I assume you have a different
login name for each one?) Pick one set of dns servers and stick them in
/etc/resolv.conf.
Email me if that doesn't work.
