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.
