My router is stupid. apparently it sends to the dhcp clients the nameserver address you enter into the dhcp configs, but it appends its own LAN address to it so the clients get both: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/dns-problems-with-dhcp.23132/#post-319233 that is a discussion of a similar router from the same mfg as mine, and it behaves the same way. You can see this directly if you have a windows system, run "ipconfig /renew" then "ipconfig /all" and you'll see both addresses listed as DNS. Now, does that have anything to do with my Centos box which is manually configured? I can't see how, but it makes me wonder. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "For the word of God is living and active.
