I've fixed this problem with a new mergemaster -a. It was not a DNS 
failure. I know my DNS is working correctly.

Now the login- and pppd problem have changed. The first login is working 
properly.
But each other login keeps the same problem. Every remotely login with 
telnet takes 2 minutes until the login prompt appears again! Same with pppd.
I located the problem in the defaultroute. Bsd is changing my entry in 
rc.conf without any checkback (no DNS problem but a router problem).
I added my route by hand. (route add ...) but nothing appears in the 
routing-tabelle (netstat -r)

any idea?

regards
thomas
