Yes I think it was the case. I had no clamav update / outgoing mail / fetchmail / or any other DNS requesting daemon active.

Ok, here's the log: Nov 22 20:40:08 harris pppd[10147]: PPP session is 2016 Nov 22 20:40:08 harris pppd[10147]: Using interface ppp0 Nov 22 20:40:08 harris pppd[10147]: Connect: ppp0 <--> eth0 Nov 22 20:40:08 harris pppd[10147]: CHAP authentication succeeded: Welcome to use Quidway ROUTER, Huawei Tech.^M^J Nov 22 20:40:08 harris pppd[10147]: CHAP authentication succeeded Nov 22 20:40:08 harris pppd[10147]: peer from calling number 00:E0:FC:2B:48:B2 authorized Nov 22 20:40:08 harris pppd[10147]: local IP address 86.73.207.102 Nov 22 20:40:08 harris pppd[10147]: remote IP address 86.73.207.1 Nov 22 20:40:08 harris pppd[10147]: primary DNS address 86.64.145.144 Nov 22 20:40:08 harris pppd[10147]: secondary DNS address 84.103.237.144 Nov 22 20:40:08 harris dnsmasq[10112]: query[A] members.dyndns.org from 127.0.0.1 Nov 22 20:40:08 harris last message repeated 3 times Nov 22 20:40:08 harris ddclient[10229]: WARNING: cannot connect to members.dyndns.org:80 socket: IO::Socket::INET: Bad hostname 'members.dyndns.org' Nov 22 20:40:08 harris ddclient[10229]: FAILED: updating fcoutant.homelinux.net: Could not connect to members.dyndns.org. Looks to me like it missed the update. Another thing comes to my mind: if dnsmasq's check is based on mtime, maybe the file is updated several times in one second; dnsmasq would catch the first update but not the second (real) one ? > > Is there any chance that some part of you connection process is moving > the system clock? (ntpdate/ntp/rdate, that sort of thing.) No. I have checked: ntpdate is run automatically at startup, when there's no Internet connection yet, so it fails; Next it needs to be started manually (is not plugged in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d -- though it may be a good suggestion now I see it). -- Hope this helps, Fabien. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
