I have come up with a real kludge that works but is not pretty and you still
lose the initial packets (kind of).
I removed the flush_timeout_queue call and now when I connect to get a web page
the dns the initial packets still fail, but since the queue isn't flushed when
the connection comes up the next dns (which dns does automatically in a few
seconds) works just fine. So now I can go to netscape and lookup www.yahoo.com
and it'll load the page just fine.
So what kind of bad things does this open up...
