Laptop, small HD, used for dial-up when traveling around. That's the
reason for the "flakiness". Some of the dial up backbone DNS servers
only allow connections from machines dialed in to their local servers
so if I switch from uunet to eli to cwia I end up having to figure out
another set of numbers to use. I'd rather have a set of known open
nameservers that will respond to a DNS request from anywhere.
