    My machine is connected to the internet via an ISDN modem, using kernel
    ppp and i4b.
    If the link is up, it resolves symbolic names by asking some
    nameserver.
    If the link is down, it should just use /etc/hosts to
    resolve "localhost" and the name of the second computer
    attached to it by an ethernet link.

    My problem is that if the ISDN link is down, even
    a lookup of "localhost" doesn't work.

    What do you recommend as configuration settings?

    I seem to get stuck.

    Regards,
    Marc
