If you run named then many Internet dials will be triggered
by starting TCP connections rather than by UDP-based name
requests (which have been cached locally). Unfortunately,
in the standard config, Linux reacts badly to the IP
address being changed while a TCP connection is being set
up (the connection doesn't work and eventually has to be
cancelled or times out). This line lets Linux fudge the
issue and makes the first connection work.
The doc is /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/ip_dynaddr.txt
if you have the kernel sources installed.
