RE: DNS resolution problem
Sorry to be replying to my own post, but there was a typo in my email.
I meant to say:
--- Begin erratum ---
dig @192.168.4.5 www.google.com
works just fine! But putting 192.168.4.5 in /etc/resolv.conf and doing
dig www.google.com
doesn't work!
--- End erratum ---
This makes the point of the message: a nameserver which will do er3cursive
resolution for me when queried using dig will not do so when placed in
/etc/resolv.conf.
Sorry for the typo and best regards,
