My /etc/resolv.conf looks like that 

# eth0 begin
nameserver 213.36.80.1
# eth0 end
search clairval.com
nameserver 62.104.196.134

Both the nameserver of the ppp-isp and of the network are there even that 
only one is available for each particular case.
Is it correct or does it make the dns-process slowly?

Thanks
