Well it seems to be some kind of timeout problem. I was in the middle of
writing a response when i decided to check it out. The problem is that the
first few, 2 - 3 connections works allright then if there is no traffic on
the line for some time you get "hostname name lookup failure". The default
route does'nt change in the netstat data and routed does'nt log additional
data. But if you then add the default route by hand everything starts
working as it should again.
