What are you using for DNS servers on the clients? Your ISP's DNS
servers? With Diald and dynamic IP addresses, I would HIGHLY recommend
to do (2) things:
1) setup a caching DNS server on your Linux box. Not
hard at all and the DNS-HOWTO tells you how to do it.
From then on out, DNS will be a LOT faster for commonly
used destinations.
2) Make sure that in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file or
some other firewall script that you have:
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr
