There are no standard RADIUS attributes for DNS server assignment, but
many vendors have vendor specific solutions.  Cisco's would be

 Cisco-AVPair := "ip:dns-servers=10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2"


Most ppp clients will point their default route to the other end of the
ppp link, i.e. whatever unnumbered interface you are referring to in
your Virtual-Template.  I don't understand why you would want to set via
RADIUS.  AFAIK, IPCP doesn't include any routing information, so you
would have to run some other protocol over the PPP link to communicate
the route to the client. DHCP would fit.
