This error message is slightly confusing, but does not indicate that
it has failed. The error messages for the socket connection were
confusing because the socket connection procedure was as follows:
1) Connect the IPv6 socket
Give an error if it failed.
2) Connect the IPv4 socket
Give an error if it failed.
3) Give a confirmation message that the IPv4 failure is not a problem
if the IPv6 socket is connected to all addresses (::) and the IPv4
socket would have been connected to all addresses (0.0.0.0).
The final message would not always be printed since it has a lower
priority. In this case I can tell that it worked since the program
would have exited if none of the sockets could be created.

Here the pppd has changed the contents of the file /etc/resolv.conf ...

... and WWWOFFLE fails to do a name lookup.
This is because of the common problem with UNIX where changing the DNS
servers listed in the /etc/resolv.conf file will not have any effect
on programs that are already running. A more fuller description is
given in the WWWOFFLE FAQ.
The solution is to stop the /etc/resolv.conf file from changing or you
will need to restart WWWOFFLE each time that the file is changed.
