pppd(1M) says
usepeerdns
Ask the peer for up to two DNS server addresses.
Addresses supplied by the peer, if any, are passed to
the /etc/ppp/ip-up script in the environment variables
DNS1 and DNS2. In addition, pppd creates an
/etc/ppp/resolv.conf file containing one or two
nameserver lines with the address(es) supplied by the
peer.
To update /etc/resolv.conf, you either have to copy /etc/ppp/resolv.conf
over in your ip-up script, or create /etc/resolv.conf from $DNS1 & $DNS2
in your ip-up script.
