Verizon 5220 connection to local LAN

[CharSkall]

I am using a Verizon connection through my PC5220 to connect to my office network. My other laptops are running Windows XP pro due to the software we need to run and use our DSL connection through proxy for the internet.

Basically a laptop signs on to the Verizon network. They then come up a T1 connection from Verizons ring to our office (through a Cisco 1720). They can then access server apps and our internet through our proxy box. That works just fine and is surprisingly fast. This way we can filter allowed internet sites to those in the field.

I on the other hand do not need those Windows apps and am using Gentoo 2005.1. Ive got ppp to dial the card and get a connection and its happy with that. The problem is trying to make the dialer not use Verizons dns. I'm not quite sure how to go about doing that. I figured it had something to do with the usepeerdns but I dont know what the alternative commands are to make this work.

My /etc/ppp/peers/1xevdo :

-detach
ttyUSB0
115200
debug
noauth
defaultroute
usepeerdns
user xxxxxxxxxx@vzw3g.com
show-password
crtscts
lock
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -t3 -f /etc/ppp/peers/1xevdo_chat'


My /etc/ppp/peers/1xevdo_chat

'' 'AT'
'OK' 'ATE0V1&F&D2&C1&C2S0=0'
'OK' 'ATE0V1'
'OK' 'ATS7=60'
'OK' 'ATDT#777'

Like I said all the Windows clients work fine going the the proxy from the Verizon network. I'm just trying to get this to work so I can use my favorite distro

The internet proxy box on our network has an internal ip of 10.0.8.254. It also has an assigned ip by verizon thats translated by the cisco 1720 to the effect of 198.224.xxx.xxx . I was wondering if Im suppose to use ms-dns 198.224.xxx.xxx as a command instead of usepeerdns. I have tried this and it doesnt seem to like it or it still grabs the dns server info from verizons network. Another question is should I change my default gateway? I figured this would be unneccessary with the defaultroute statement in ppp.
