ip_conntrack cleanup on reconnection?

Hi!

I have a with my DSL uplink reconnects (ppp restart) for kernels with  
higher versions than 2.4.23.
I am using Teamspeak (TS) connected to a public server.
With 2.4.23 I can restart the ppp-connection and my TS-client still keeps  
connected with the TS-server, which
I appreciate. But eversince 2.4.25 or 2.6.x a ppp reconnect disconnects  
the TS-client and I have to reconnect
manually.
Additionally, if I played a game (Enemy Territory) while getting  
disconnected, I can?t reconnect to that
server anymore for a while. It seems like an entry in ip_conntrack  
prevents me from reconnecting (UDP) until
it has timed out.

Any suggestions, or ideas on this one?

Having a look at net/ip_MASQUARDE.c the ip_conntrack list should be empty  
after a device was down (cleanup?), but
the list still is full of entries.
Shouldnt the list be empty or, at least rewritten with the new  
ip-addresses?

Regards,
Richard
