subdomains aren't really the issue here, although you may wish to use
them for other reasons.
If you want the remote sites to be able to perform DNS lookups for
your domain when their PPP link is down, you should run named at the
remote sites.
The typical configuration would be to have them act as secondary
nameservers for the domain, with e.g.
zone "yourdomain.com" {
type slave;
file "yourdomain";
masters { x.x.x.x; };
};
where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the primary nameserver. It would
also make sense to forward other queries to that nameserver, with
options {
forwarders { x.x.x.x; };
};
