Good question.
diald doesn't work very well for a lot of applications on machines
with dynamic IP-addresses. The first packet is being sent with
a wrong IP-address. This does trigger diald, but the first request
of the application get's lost.
Also the application doesn't get a notification when the network
connection gets lost.
Cheers,
Waldo
