The patch looks OK. My only comment would be that you might want to put
the "-l $resolv_conf" test up higher since there may be no point to
executing the sleep(3), etc., if resolv.conf is not going to be updated
later anyway. E.g.,

- # If the resolv.conf file has not been modified, and the PPP
- # resolv.conf has, copy it into place
- while(1) {
+ # If the resolv.conf file has not been modified and is not
+ # a symlink, and the pppd-generated resolv.conf file has
+ # been modified, then copy the latter over the former
+ if (!-l $resolv_conf) while (1)

I haven't tested this.
