I think Gnus should be able to reconnect to the server automatically.
In fact, I thought it did that. :-)
nntp.el just uses `open-network-stream' to connect to the server.
There is no parameter to that function to specify what the address of
the host machine is -- so what happens? Does it try to connect and
then hangs forever? I have no experience with dynamic ppp
connections...
