Greetings.
It might have something to do with DNS entries expiring perhaps. If you keep pinging
then possibly the DNS entries would stay there. If there was no activity maybe the
DNS entries would expire and be removed from the cache.
I noticed that if my Linux machine (before I connected it to the network) could not
resolve a name locally it would try to contact the next higher DNS, but not being
connected could not, so it timeouted, but this took a few seconds.
You can try doing a ipfwadm -M -l (lowercase ell) which will list the masquerading
entries, and show you the times those expire as well.

Subject: [masq] ip masq connects best if constantly pinging clients
Anyone heard of IP Masquerade running on linux kernel 2.0.32 listening
closer if you continually ping a client machine?
my client is winnt and if i set linux to continually ping it, then the
linux box receives an acts on TCP requests from the winnt box
faster...sometimes it doesn't recognize the winnt box ax all...here are the
commands and routing i am using on the linux box.
> ipfwadm -F -f
> ipfwadm -F -p deny
> ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
Leaving out the Metric, Ref and Use as they would not tell you anything--
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Iface
mg134-198.domain * 255.255.255.255 UH ppp0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U lo
default mg134-198..domain 0.0.0.0 UG ppp0
Thanks in advance for advice.
