It very likely is DNS; that's the reason I have to restart my squid
proxy every time I dial up.

Does balsa, or some lib it uses, 'open' the resolver at start-up and
then re-use it?  Because I *think* that /etc/resolv.conf is read when
the resolver is first opened, and if it changes (as my dial-up script
changes it) then programs which have already opened it need to be
restarted.

At least, almost every TCP/IP program I use needs to be restarted when 
I dial-up...
