ppp dialin client cant resolve names.

Hi guys,

I'm a virgin poster on this list, so please be gentle :-)

I have a problem with ppp dialin on my network.  It connects ok and can ping
hosts internal and external.  The problem is that the ppp client can't
resolve names.  Everything else works ok.  If I point the browser to the
squid proxy the client can surf ok.  I assume this is because squid is
resolving the names and not the client.  This is a redhat 7.1 system.  pppd
version is 2.4.0.  Has anyone successfully done this on a 7.1 system out of
the box?  Anyone got any ideas?

I have searched usenet & tried a number of things, but to no avail.

Cheers,
Mark

I hope this diagram looks ok
