Assuming you have a fixed IP address when ppp comes up, specify that 
address in named's listen-on list.  When ppp has connected, assigned its 
addresses and set the default route, have ppp run an up-script that runs 
'/etc/rc.d/named restart'.

named will then see the ppp interface and listen on that address as well 
as any others specified, like localhost.  ppp runs its up/down scripts 
as root; you don't need (or want) to have named running as root.
