pppd and persist
Hello,
since a couple of days my dsl connection is not stable anymore and now I
am searching for some self-recoverable configuration for my server.
I now use the 'persist' option in pppd, as suggested in a previous answer
to my question. This option seems to look to echorequests. Today my
connection went down again, so I examined the logs. I see that
echorequests worked well in the period it was down, but I was unable to
connect the server.
So, how can it be that I am unable to connect while the echos works fine?
It seems that when ip-down acted all the trouble started. It does not
say much to me, but maybe it says something to one of you. The syslog is
send as attachment.
Oh yes, another thing that questions me is the following I also found in
syslog:
named: Response from unexpected source ([192.36.144.122].53)
There are a couple of these lines in syslog. I looked some of them up with
nslookup and all seemed to be nameservers: i.gtld-servers.net,
a.gtld-servers.net, autho1.ns.uu.net. What is this, can it hurt?
Thanks in advance,
Sebastiaan
Syslog
Seemed to work fine until 11:26:28. I had no user logged in that time, so
it must be some system thing.

Since now I was unable to connect. What might have caused the ip-down
script to take action?
