I'm trying to set up a DNS server for our small network. Any failed requests 
need passing on to our ISP's DNS or the authoritative servers.

I've got a cacheing nameserver set up as per the DNS-HOWTO which works fine 
when the ppp link is up. This correctly gives answers from its internal 
tables where possible and from cache or the 'net when not.

The problem is when the ppp link is down. It doesn't seem to generate 
requests to kick diald into action. I can't see any pending in the 
diald-control screen.

Can these work together and if so what am I missing? I'll send my config 
files if anyone is prepared to help.

TIA
