What about putting DNS server IPs into your configuration as permanent
entries then. You won't need to discover them at connection, and if
"discovering" them, then, was the only problem (but access to them was
still working), then you could avoid having to redial.
I've usually found that entering DNS server IPs as permanent settings sped
up the connection time, too.
And, perhaps, this might help with the resolution of your own address
name? The resolution problem might simply be due to too-slow responses
from the DNS server(s).
