I'm not sure what properties you mean, but if I do a "ipconfig /all"
from a command prompt, I see my ms-dns servers listed uner the PPP
adapter interface for PPTP.  The Internet interface has it's own DNS
servers obtained from DHCP.  I'm not sure how it decides which servers
to use, but it always appears to be using the internet DNS servers.

Also, If I run just "nslookup" from the XP command prompt, it always
selects my ISP's first internet DNS server.

I haven't been able to find any "priority" option for which interface's
DNS servers gets used first.
