Primary or sec DNS, I tink shouldn't matter.

DNS addresses are changed dynamically by default by ppp.

Normally your bsnl fellow would have configured for windows. As I have
seen one connection in Chennai, the modem is also a router. Only that
need to be configured. Once it is configured, you can use lines in
/etc/network/interfaces as
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
that should connect. You can have /etc/resolv.conf with bsnl supplied DNS.
To check your modem/router which is web server connect to http://192.168.1.1/
and login. you can see info about router and search in google for details.
