What about /etc/resolv.conf? It's possible your DSL modem is also a DHCP
server, and the DHCP info could be overwriting the PPP nameservers. If eth0 is
the interface connected to the DSL, does it have an IPv4 address?

Yes, after some more personal investigation, I did check that one,
and there lies the problem.

Some periodical DHCP action overwriting that file, and losing good
nameserver lines, replacing them with two lines: "search lan", and
"nameserver 10.x.y.z".

I made /etc/resolv.conf immutable, as a work around, and filed a bug
report against Ubuntu Gutsy.
