</div></div> i had already noticed that -- that setup is just plain strange. but<br>
am i right in thinking that it's silly to have the linksys router<br>
pointing *inward* for its static DNS servers? surely, if the internal<br>
systems are consulting the router, the router should be consulting<br>
even *further* outside the org to external nameservers. i've never<br>
see a situation where those systems point at each other like that.<br>
