I recently indulged in a marathon compile-a-thon (glibc 2.2.3, X 4.1.0 and all the things they are dependent on) and at the end of this I found that ppp was no longer dialling on demand correctly. What appears to be happening is that ip_dynaddr isn't working properly. The first connection (the one which initiated the dial) fails.

Prior to noticing the problem with ppp I also upgraded to 2.4.9 of the kernel. So my question is this, is there a known problem with ip_dynaddr or is it more likely to be a problem with the default configuration of DNS lookups in glibc as I have seen suggested elsewhere?
