The ntpdate and ez-ipupdate stuff were related to shorewall not being configured properly by me, as Jacques Nilo pointed out.

I dug around in /var/log and didn't find much that seemed out of the ordinary. shorewall.log looked like it was blocking things on ppp0 from external sources only. The only anomally was from /var/log/daemon.log I found the following messages repeated many many times. How can I find out what's causing that?

Hey everyone,Raymond,
I'm using Bering-uClibc 2.0 and setup tinydns and dnscache on it. However I'm having a problem where after about 5-10 minutes dns lookups fail. If I restart dnscache from init.d things go back to normal. I was wondering if anyone here might be able to help me out with this problem.
I'm not sure if this is related, but ntpdate has been unable to talk to servers like time.nist.gov says there's a sendto error. Also ez-ipupdate fails to connect members.dyndns.com:80.
Could these be related, and might they have something to do with a misconfiguration of shorewall?
Appreciate any insight

You don't give much insight on your setup (dsl, cable, dialup, ...), configuration items you changed (dnscache, tinydns, shorewall, ...) so I can only guess. When dnscache fails things like ntpdate and ez-
ipupdate don't work anymore because they can't resolv the hostnames anymore, so that is expected. The question is why dnscache suddenly dies.
You can do some trouble shooting by looking at the output of "shorewall hits": are there local ports that get blocked which shouldn't. The output of "df" and "free": aren't there any memory problems. With ps you can see if the dnscache daemon is still running at the time you have problems. And ofcourse by looking at the various files in /var/log.
