This a cheap hack, off the top of my head and untested.
Use pppconfig to set up named providers ispA, ispB, and ispC, in addition

I like your script (I used to something very similar), but I have since
modified mine to use the PPP_IPPARAM feature of later pppd's. In my
/etc/ppp/peers/ispX file I just add the ipparam option which is passed to
the ip-up/ip-down scripts. It made my life a bunch esier than trying to

I avoid the problem of a separate /etc/resolv.conf for each of my ISP's
by never using my ISP's DNS servers.
I found that DNS lookups to my local ISP took as long as lookups to the
the main internet DNS servers A through M, about 4 seconds.
So, I run a local DNS server, and I have but one entry

Packages are not to mess with other packages' conffiles. We had a long and
inclusive discussion of this on debian-devel earlier this year. There are
also technical issues having to do with the fact that a package that doe

There is a script that deals with this very problem as part of the
ppp kit for NetBSD.
It resolves this issue not by linking to, but by copying the proper
resolv.conf for that connection to

You don't even have to HUP named since it is libc that uses resolv.conf
for gethostbyname(). if he

hey i was wondering if when u did 'pppconfig' and created a new ppp
account if u can specify what /etc/recolve.conf file u want cause i have
access to a few ISPs around here that use different primary/secondary
