Vista DNS Server Order for PPP Connections

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

It appears that in Vista, the DNS server(s) for a PPP connection are
always favored over those from other connection regardless of the
service provider order defined.

This can be verified by using the nslookup command without any
arguments and looking at the Default Server that is displayed.

This is different than XP.

Is there any way to change this?
