Don't start it that way. Make a file in /etc/init.d/ that will start/stop
it. You can find a skeleton for how to do it in the same dir that's right
for your distro.

The you need ppp to be symlinked from /etc/rc3.d/S70ppp0 to /etc/init/ppp0
(I'm not sure about the number after S).

No, it's a configuration issue. ppp doesn't belong in inittab if it needs
to run before bind.
