That depends. Good, innit? In this case, it depends on whether your ISP is filtering/intercepting DNS traffic. If they've got problems keeping their own DNS running, then that may be unlikely. You just need to set up a caching nameserver. This is, of course, providing that doing to doesn't violate your terms and conditions - which is unlikely: if that _is_ the case, then you may want to look at switching ISPs (_politely_ letting the last lot know why; feedback can only help). -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287088 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 RFC822 jan.grant@bris.ac.uk Axioms speak louder than words.
