Gerts right there's an option that you can specify before compiling
pppd2.2.0 that will assist (not sure how) win95 clients with dns
lookups. The option you use is USE_MS_DNS=1 and you can find out exactly
what the option is by looking through the top level makefile of pppd.  

You specify it when compiling using something like make install
USE_MS_DNS=1 on the command line but you'll have to look through the
makefile to be sure.

You then setup your ppp 'options' file and add a line signaling your
nameserver like: dns-addr "your nameserver".  I can't find the
information I used to do this so you'll have to work with it a bit.
If I find the info I'll email it directly to you.

Hope it works.
