It might be that; I'll add those and see. However, my suspicion is now some bad interaction between the internal interface DHCP server and the external interface client - I bumped the leases on the internal 192.168 addresses up to a week, and things have now been working for nearly 24 hours.

In fact, after the 24 hour external lease I may hit another problem which your suggestion would address; I was hitting the problem much sooner, after a time interval that could have been the same as the length of the internal address leases...
