DDNS at present though I have done in the past. The router has a
control panel for configuring *its own* DNS resolver, i.e. where it
forwards queries to upstream. It was set to "dynamic", which I
interpret to mean "get the configuration from the ISP". (The broadband
connection is PPPoE so it presumably behaves like an Ethernet).
Changing it to explicitly point at Google is what had the desired
effect. It now seems likely that the kernel version was mere
coincidence, at least I hope so.
It was 05:45 and still dark out. Forgot who I was talking with. Sorry about that.

Correct.

As I say, that may well be the case (I hope it is). The router config
change seems to have corrected the problem for now.
Would have been nice know what resolver the router was using when set to Dynamic.....
