Thanks Brian. I took a look at the faq, and had everything set up the way it suggested. netstat -rn showed a default route and a route between the two 10. addresses for tun0. My /etc/resolv.conf was pointing to the nameserver on the local machine: nameserver 0.0.0.0 directive. I wasn't clear that the fetchmail is running on the same box that is running ppp -auto. I think this indicates outgoing traffic is not causing ppp to dial. When it gets into this state it seems like named had reaped some stuff out of its cache (time to live stuff). Could this (named clearing cache) or an iface clear in ppp.linkdown be causing an adverse reaction with the routing table? It will typically work for 3 or 4 days befre getting into this state. Again, thanks for the suggestions.
