Its called DHCP/PPP, both will auto-magically configure the correct DNS Which doesn't work very well when your provider cannot keep a DNS server up for 10 minutes at a time. See the beginning of this thread.
Run bind locally on your laptop. There's a Win32 version available if you're not running some sort of Unix or Linux on there. It's what I do as my ISP's DNS is wonky at times, as is $ork's as they choose to use Active Directory for DNS. Setup different named.conf files for home/work/travel/etc, and a trivial batch file or shell script to copy the relevant named.conf file into play and run rndc reload, and you're good to go.
