The resolver code should look to see if you are running a name server
without this ('man 5 resolver'). If you are not running a name server,
this should have the addresses of your ISP's name server. That _MIGHT_ be

ns1.arcor-ip.de 14458 IN A 145.253.2.19

Well, that sure isn't going to work. You've told the system that the way
to the world is out the eth0 interface, so it's going to ignore ppp0
except when (for some unknown reason) you want to talk to 84.60.0.1.

/etc/network/interfaces

Comment out the 'gateway 192.168.1.1' line. pppd will NOT replace an
existing default.
