Hello,
The Avahi issue that some of you were experimenting was not related to
customer's side but provider's side.
For those of you who might want to keep using the provider's name
servers; Change the value of AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL, which is located
at /etc/default/avahi-daemon, to zero.
Regards
