System: NetBSD tx.reedmedia.net 5.0_STABLE NetBSD 5.0_STABLE (GENERIC) #0: Mon May 11 12:36:19 CDT 2009 reed@tx.reedmedia.net:/home/reed/netbsd/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
pppd man page says DNS1 and DNS2 are for ip-up script
and then later in same manpage says are for different scripts.

Also description for using the peer DNS is out of order and seems
to imply that the ip-up script is ran before the /etc/ppp/resolv.conf
is created. That is wrong. (I didn't provide patch for that.)
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Move the definition. (Some are alphabetical and some aren't.)
I'd fix this myself, but I see this is in "dist" and I opened this
bug so I can remember.
