I had the same problem some weeks ako. My Qube tried to resolve it's
own ip address over the DNS server of my ISP when the monitor script
is running (reverse lookup).

The following works fine for me: Set up an own DNS server on your
Qube. Enter the IP address and the hostname for the reverse lookup.
Go to the dialin-profile (I don't know it works for modem connections,
i only use ISDN, but you can create a profile for each ISP) and enter
the following:

primary DNS: 192.168.0.1 (or the IP you use for your Qube)
secondary DNS: x.x.x.x (the primary DNS of your ISP)

You need to do this, because the Qube replaces the settings in the
network setup with the settings you enter here on every dial-up :-(
