	I've tried with a single entry.  There are two ways to add them to 
resolv.conf, through the graphical setup for TCP/IP and using vi in a terminal.
I've done it both ways with the same results.  It seems like the udp packets 
leave the Mac, are translated to my dynamically assigned IP and sent out to the
DNS servers with no problem.  After using tcpdump to monitor activity on my internal
interface on the router, fxp0, it shows that the responses never make it back to 
this interface.  The responses do make it back to the ppp0 interface though.
This seems to be where the problem is.
