The new pppconfig beta lets you specify the nameservers for each IP, and
uses scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d and /etc/ppp/ip-down.d to write the
correct data to /etc/resolv.conf when the connection is made and to
restore it when the connection is taken down. There's also an /etc/init.d
script to run the ip-down.d script on boot, in case there was a crash, to
restore resolv.conf to a sane state.
Unfortunately, the beta depends on ppp >=2.3.7, and slink only has 2.3.5,
so you can't install this without building the ppp package from source (or
going to unstable, but that's probably a Bad Idea).
