Sorry if I am misunderstanding; for some stupid reason I haven't
followed this discussion.....
I am experiencing similar problems - my Dial On Demand triggers often
when some program wants to contact localhost. Among those is leafnode;
I am running a local news-spool (leafnode), and whenever I post a new
news message, or even if I access a newsgroup, the ISDN connection is
started. Another is ssh....
To me it seems like there is something wrong with the configuration of
the "lo" interface - in fact it doesn't even appear in the "route"
list.
As far as I can remember this has been the default behaviour of
"unstable" (and "testing") for years, and has been corrected by some
miracle before the "stable" release.
I may be wrong, of course.....
