pppd writes the file  /etc/ppp/resolv.conf when the option usepeerdns is 
set. You let dnsmasq use this file with the option

	resolv-file=/etc/ppp/resolv.conf

/etc/resolv.conf points to the host where dnsmasq is running. If pppd 
also replaces /etc/resolv.conf you could check the ip-up-scripts if 
there is one that copies /etc/ppp/resolv.conf to /etc/resolv.conf.

Also you can specify in /etc/resolv.conf which domains should be 
searched if you enter just a host name without a domain:

	search mydomain mycompanydomain.de

In dnsmasq you can forward all mycompanydomain.de related dns-queries to 
the mycompanydomain.de's DNS (replace the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with its 
IP-address)
	server=/mycompanydomain.de/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

But I do not know how to insert an dynamically DNS-IP-address that has 
been delivered by the mycompanydomain.de's DHCP-server. (Is this possible?)
