Sorry I didn't realize you were brand new to this game and I didn't explain my self cleary enough. The change I noted was for reference only. Last week a bunch of us discovered that when PPPoE cycled its addresses, our routers were still happy *except* for the port forwards. Port forwards are where we take the appearance of a particular port as seen on our outside machine (router) and redirect it to a different machine on the inside (possibly changing the port number in the process). The fix was to find the file/place that gets run after *every* ppp negotiation so that we could correct the problem by re-establishing what would be effective of a reboot. >From you explanation it appears that your caching DNS is doing exactly that - CACHEING. The cache does eventually expire based on a TTL (time-to-live) value but won't know to do this upon renegotiation unless told to do so. You need to discover what the "restart" code is for the DNSCache program is and place it in the /etc/ppp/ip-up file just where we previously put the svi network ipfilter reload command to accomplish the same thing for the DNSCache service. I'm afraid I don't run that application so I cannot help with what the program would be or its correct syntax. Perhaps someone else on the list who runs the package could assist on that part. -- David B.
