I can change "netstat -ir" to "netstat -nir" for one cause, maybe this could be wrapped in a check if "/var/run/tunN.pid" exists [from man ppp(8)] or even better a check to see if ppp was connected if such a feature exists... is there anything I can put in /etc/host.conf or /etc/hosts so that It doesn't have to actually connect to the net for this? if my hostname is in /etc/hosts and /etc/host.conf says use hosts before bind what else can I do to tell sendmail that it doesn't need to connect to the internet?
