The supports many new feature not in the Slack 3.6 (like virtual hosting
[based on IP] and better support of static or masquarade NATing. But I
can be wrong, because of security issues, I had to upgrade wu-ftpd to
the latest version on my Slack 3.6 box.
Use the /etc/hosts file on the server to map all the IP/computer names
pair for your internal network.
Or use an empty /etc/resolv.conf when not connected (pppd has the
ability to run a scrip after connecter and after hang-up I think).
Or try using ipchains to REJECT (not DENY) outgoing packets on port 53
(udp and tcp) when your not connected.
Or defines a dns server for your domain that defines the 2 zone needed
to define machine name and reverse ip resolving. (zone "foo.bar" and
zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa")
