I know the message is normal, as there is no default route. My point is
that the machines on my masqueraded subnet were *NOT* receiving network
unreachable messages when the PPP link was down.
However - I now think this is because the DNS server the masqueraded
machines are using is in the "real" internet, and the apps on the
masqueraded machines just time out DNS requests when the link is down.
What I think I need is to set up the Linux box as a cacheing DNS server.
I eventually want to get diald working as well, its just a case of finding
the time!
Anyway, thanks to everyone for their help on this!
Regards,
Marc
