I have 8 modems connected to my BSD system. From time to time, after login,
the SLIP client can't get host name resolved, or can't get it resolved on
some of the lines. When I reboot the machine everything is OK for some time.

It seems that the server doesn't know the client's IP. I think that the DNS
works fine - it resolves names, answers ping, ftp, www, telnet,...
I'll appreciate it very much if somebody can give me a clue.
