Do the DNS servers actually change on each dialin ? If so, ditch the 
ISP and find one that knows how to run a network !

If they don't, just code the addresses into the dhcp config. You can 
write a script that will get the latest values, update the dhcp 
config, and reload the dhcp server. You will find a thread remarkably 
similar if you look over the mailing list archives for the last few 
weeks.

Personally, I would say that you simply don't bother with your ISP 
nameservers and run your own. It isn't hard to do and will remove the 
problem.
