OK. I would suggest that this be taken to the list or to the author.  
I stopped being the chair in 1995, never mind what the RFC says about  
my being the "current" chair (I never did understand why PPP  
documents listed me instead of the mailing list).

This means that if the option is not included at all, then the peer
isn't expected to get a primary DNS address via this mechanism.  It
may have one through local configuration, BOOTP/DHCP over PPP,
assuming the peer to be a server, or possibly other means.

Note that the option is a little strange (the address supplied in
Configure-Request actually refers to a node on the _other_ side of the
link) and, though it's fairly commonly implemented, it's not a
standard.

The usual usage, when enabled, is that the side requiring a DNS server
address (the "client") includes the Primary DNS Server Address option
in its IPCP Configure-Request message, with the address set to
0.0.0.0.  The peer can then either respond with Configure-Nak to
specify a non-zero address for it to use, or with Configure-Reject to
say that none is available.  The originator then must send _another_
IPCP Configure-Request message with the right option contents (either
setting the address per the Nak or removing the option altogether on
Reject).

Of course, good implementations should sanity-check that Configure-Nak
as well.  A Nak specifying 0.0.0.0 or some illegal address ought not
be used, and should result in treating the message as though
Configure-Reject were received.
