Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ppp
When the ppp daemon establishes a connection, the /etc/ppp/ip-
up.d/0000usepeerdns file is executed (after, the corresponding ip-
down.d/0000usepeerdns file is also executed).
Where the pppd "usepeerdns" config options is used (most cases), the
0000usepeerdns scripts test for the nscd (name service cache daemon)
being running incorrectly [1], so does not restart it.
The correct pid file to test for is /var/run/nscd/nscd.pid. Also, rather
than restarting the service and flushing everything, it is better to
invalidate just the hosts [2].
Diff against original files is in [3]. Apply with 'patch -l'.
