So start BIND after PPP.

You didn't include your inittab listing for pppd, but I'd hazard a
guess you're starting it only at run level 3 and that there's
something starting BIND in /etc/init.d/rc2.d. You probably want to
put pppd at all run levels 2-5 under Linux, if you really want the
connection to always be up. See inittab(5).
