Hi,
In this post [fr] remi notes that /etc/resolv.conf could be a link
to /var/run/ppp/resolv.conf instead of /etc/ppp/resolv.conf

http://forum.eagle-usb.org/viewtopic.php?p=17919

What's the standard ? I thought that man pppd gave a unique
specification (see below)
Does it apply to Red Hat as well (from which version ?)

For the moment, if we detect Fedora or Red Hat we may just change the
link we make ? Though, I do not know how it can work with a LAN with
DNS... I thought that pppd can add automatically the DNS
to /etc/resolv.conf (I do not use a link...).

[quote from man pppd]
usepeerdns
  Ask the peer for up to 2 DNS server  addresses.   The  addresses
  supplied  by  the peer (if any) are passed to the /etc/ppp/ip-up
  script in the environment variables DNS1 and DNS2, and the envi-
  ronment variable USEPEERDNS will be set to 1.  In addition, pppd
  will create an /etc/ppp/resolv.conf file containing one  or  two
  nameserver lines with the address(es) supplied by the peer.
