Steve probably meant IPCP and the ms-dns option for pppd.

You give this option to pppd using the pptpd options file for pppd.  You
probably already have such an options file.  See man pppd for other
options.

You also give the usepeerdns option to the client pppd used by pptp.
Again, see what the manual page says about it.

When a pppd client sees this option, it changes the local configuration
so that name resolution goes via the specified IP addresses.

Most Linux distributions handle this in /etc/ppp/ip-up scripts.
