Nope. In fact, RADIUS CANNOT override this. Well, in fact, there is no way
to turn this off - period. If the PM has a nameserver set, and the client
asks for it, it WILL assign it. And you can't stop it - the only way to
stop it is not to set one.

Sounds like your Windows client isn't set up to ask for it. Now, are you
*sure* you're talking DNS servers and NOT NetBIOS Name Servers, aka
WINS Servers? Because if you mean NBNS you need to do:
'set nbns 1 x.x.x.x'
'set nbns 2 x.x.x.x'

The PM doesn't use these, but it will pass them on.

A PPP debug will also show you if the client is even asking for
anything.
