If it is a caching DNS, just as you outlined.
Re - dial on demand, but not for DNS, I understand you can/could
configure diald/whatever to ignore dns requests.
Alternatively, you kick off dns whenever the line is up and stop it
when you drop the line.

Either, the demand dial is made at certain times to collect/send mail,
or you toggle fetchmail to collect and sendmail/qmail to send whenever
the line goes up.
