When i connect through a PPTP to remote network and USEPEERDNS is
unselected, /etc/resolv.conf gets wiped out. This issue exists in Feisty
and in Gutsy too. I have made patch to correct this by simply not to
update resolv.conf (leave intact) when there is no name servers returned
by DHCP. Now PPTP is working for me correctly (as i expect).
