    Sheer guess, but perhaps the PPP negotiation is giving them something
    weird (eg, 127.0.0.1) as the nameserver address. Have a look at
    /etc/resolv.conf while they're connected and at the ppp log.

    Have you tried dig @server.ip some.host?
    Any internal firewall in place? What do its logs/stats show?
