Do you have the "usepeerdns"-option set in ppp/options? If so, a quick
glance at `man pppd` wouldn´t hurt ;-)
If, for whatever reason, "usepeerdns"-handling is broken, simply edit
ppp/ip-[up,down].d/0dns-[up,down] accordingly.

OT: I have difficulties believing that anyone besides our local
$quasimonopolytelco is stupid enough to provide adsl-service only over
a poor excuse for a protocol like pptp. Life never ceases to amaze me,
though.
