Looking at your syslog, your ISP is providing you with DNS servers.

The question remains...why doesn't pppd update /etc/resolv.conf.

Previous people may be correct in wondering why ip-up can't be executed.
You already did ls -l /etc/ppp/ip-up and found the file permissions were correct.
I don't know how to check selinux permissions for this file.
Is the contents of /etc/ppp/ip-up correct?  I assume the file starts
with "#!/bin/bash" and there are no funny line endings.

I fear it may be time to search the Internet for bug reports.
I'm not sure what search words to use to find appropriate bugs.

Again, I'm sorry for leading you astray.  Your ISP is giving you DNS.
