I have ppp setup to dial on demand using the -auto option. I set up a caching only nameserver and all is well when the ppp connection is up. However, once an IP address is stored in cache and if the ppp connection is down, any service requests (ftp, pop3, etc.) to a cached IP address will timeout. It will go fine if the connection is already up. I did not see this without the caching only nameserver so my theory is that if a DNS lookup does not trigger a dial out then the service connection will timeout. I realize that this is hard to explain so I hope the above makes sense. Is there a way to have a cahing only nameserver and dial on demand without getting service connection timeouts?
