[OT] Linksys routers, DHCP, and DNS

[Ian Zimmerman]

I got the Rogers cable connection yesterday and it works fine, even
living up to the
advertised speed (well, on Sunday night...)  While reconfiguring my
boxes I noticed
one oddity.  The Linksys router I brought from my past life now seems to run a
proxy DNS server and advertises itself (192.168.1.1) as such in DHCP replies.
It works just fine if I list it as the only nameserver entry in
resolv.conf.  The thing is
I can swear it didn't do this before - with the Comcast cable
connection I had in
California it just passed on the IP#s of Comcast's nameservers.  Anyone with an
idea what could cause this different behaviour?
