    domain resolution is done via dns. You need to add the dns server address
    they provide to your /etc/resolv.conf file by hand, or run your own
    dnscache.
    i guess PPPoE only provides a gateway address which is handled by

    ppp does pppoe out of the box. Here's mine

    default:
    # this was my old pacbell sbc account dynamic ip nunber
    # my nic card is ed0
    pacbell:
     set log Phase tun command
     set ifaddr 10.10.0.1/0 10.10.0.2/0
     set timeout 0
    # my nic card is ed0
     set device PPPoE:ed0
     set authname myaccount@sbcglobal.net
     set authkey mypass
     set dial
     set login
     add default HISADDR

    # nowadays i have static numbers hence this works
    speakeasy:
            set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
            set device /dev/cuaa1
            set speed 115200

            set authkey mypasswd
            set login "TIMEOUT 10 \"\" \"\" gin:--gin: \\U word: \\P"
            add default HISADDR

    you mean here?
    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/pppoe.html
    then
    [snip]
    21.5.3 Running ppp
    As root, you can run:
    # ppp -ddial name_of_service_provider
    [/snip]

    That would translate into
    ppp -ddial pacbell
    or
    ppp -ddial speakeasy
