If you don't understand where to put the CNAME for a record that you want to
change on dial up I think you need to take a step back and get BIND working
and play with it manually first.

Get BIND up and create a zone of ".internal", set your domain on the
machine's host settings to ".internal"

When you dial up, edit the ".internal" zone to reflect the settings you need
for that ISP.

Don't forget to change the serial number of the zone.

Reload the zone files.

When you are happy with doing this then see about setting up a script.

Seriously though - why do you need several ISPs? Surely you can pop collect
all you mail from anywhere?
