It is when the behaviour of function actually changes the results on me that I perk up and think: I've misunderstood something here! (Or somebody has *revised* interactions and I'd missed it in the changelogs.) Anyhow, the only line I can see that would appear to affect this is in /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider - the "usepeerdns" line I've mentioned before. Sound about right? -- Mark L.
