In the DHCP Server screen, I see this entry called 'Update from upstream DHCP'.
 Below is the online help, but I'm not sure I understand or what I am looking 
for.

  What I wanted was the DNS settings in the DHCP server section, to be populated
from the untrust interface, which is PPPoE.  I don't want to hardcode the ISP
DNS IP addresses in case they change, but I can't see another option.

***********

Update: Enable this option if you want to update the security device with
information from upstream DHCP clients.

If a DHCP client service is bound to an interface on the security device, the
DHCP client can get it’s own IP address, gateway, DNS information, and so on.
The pull-down menu lists the interfaces that configure a DHCP client; if you
choose an interface, the public information that you get from the DHCP client's
interface is used for the DHCP server. For example, the DHCP server’s DNS value
can be accessed from the DHCP client.
