Eh, not true..
PPP itself does not care or use dynamic DNS, but if you configure your
connection thru Linuxconf (which Drakconf invokes...)and enable dhcp, then
upon connection the if-up script modifies the appropriate Linux files to
configure the connection.
/etc/resolv.conf gets the dynamically allocated hostname as well as the
addresses of the server at ppp startup.
I've done this numerous times with Linux boxes set up as internet routers...
with
Dynamic Services such as @home, etc.
