with so many people running ppp alias,
i'd like to know if anyone DOES or DOESN'T
have this problem.  i'd like to know if i
need to figure something out, or if it
is a bug.  i've had this problem for
at least 1.5 years, and have never
figured out a solution.

i always wrote it off as a "bug" in the resolver.
i have experienced some odd behavior relating to
DNS & /etc/hosts resolving and remember many posts
over the years relating to quirky behavior.

PS. someone mentioned that it is bad to use "X.X.X.0"
as an IP, but i thought it was conventional to use
that number for default gateways ...
