Matthew, I do use the hosts file to resolve the names Bering needs to. I'd rather have the space for sshd and other packages I may need. I haven't used tinydns for any of my setups since I started using lrp with ppp in 1999.

Dnscache will not have name/address pairs for your internal lan, and my guess is that when you sit down at the LEAF and type nslookup 192.168.x.y where x and y are replaced with real IP's on your internal LAN that you don't get an instant response. Am I correct? If the lookup does succeed, it probably is coming from your LEAF /etc/hosts. I'm just curious because using tinydns takes care of that, and I faced the same problem recently.
