a few question about IP-MASQ



I have a working IP-MASQ in my home, including a ppp dialup on demand.
Installed on a RH5 machine.
The problem is, it sometimes starts by itself (probably because some
packet is traveling on my LAN and the linux wants to route it outside).
For example, if I telnet my linux machine (even if I telnet by IP) it
first dials up, and only then connects me.
So I was wondering:

1. do the stations (the WinXX computers) need to have the DNS configured
to the outside DNSes? ( I configured their DNSes to be DNSes the Linux
use. Maybe I should've put my linux machine as their only DNS?)
2. Is there a way to see the *reason* why the ppp connection was
initialized (e.g. why request_route was executed)?
3. should there be anything special in request_route? I just used the
one from the diald howto.

...any other ideas?
