Once upon a time Leonard shaped the electrons to say...
>Hi, I was looking at a successful PPP negotiation and noticed that
>the PM3 rejected the secondary DNS. We have the dialup user set

We did not reject their setting, we just said "Hey, we can't tell you what
the secondary is".

>I would guess that since the PM3 has no secondary DNS set, it rejected
>the users' secondary DNS setting. Is there anyway to get it to
>either set a secondary DNS at PM3; or not reject the secondary DNS
>from the user?

You can set a secondary DNS server on the PM-3.

>As a side question, isn't it part of PPP negotiations for the PM3 to
>tell the users' DUN what it's DNSes are (ie. don't set DNS in DUN at all)?

Only if the client ASKS for it. That's how RFC 1877 works. If the client
asks, and we have the data, we tell them.
