When connecting to ipv4+ipv6 per the instructions, checking /var/run/resolv.conf.gprs, it shows namserver 66.94.25.120 and nameserver 66.94.9.120

changing
Code:
### Add prioritary IPv6-specific DNS server? ###
ADD_IPv6_DNS="no"
to yes adds nameserver 2607:FB90:beef:3::2 as the first line in resolv.conf.gprs.

I'll leave this up for a while add see if it disconnects. *edit* just noticed this was at the very end of one paragraph in the directions, missed it when I set it up originally.
Very strange. That is an old DNS server that will not work well for a variety of reason.

I just checked the script from garage and the DNS server is hard coded in the enable script. So, you can change the enable script to have the new DNS server and that will work correctly.

Ideally, the DNS server would be pushed from the network to the handset dynamically ... this is how it works in Symbian ....

I will follow-up with the author of the garage script to have the new DNS server updated into the script.
