What is a public DNS server? Don't you have to use a DNS server that is under the control of your ISP or its authorized agents and affiliates? I have never heard of public DNS servers. All of the DNS servers I know about are owned by somebody or some company or some government agency. Access to DNS servers is controlled. You you have to get authorization to use them. How does one go about getting the permissions to use the so-called "public" DNS servers in Orlando, FL? If you are using a program in conjunction with EPPPD to request specific DNS numbers, and you can't get hooked up to the ones you are asking for, the reason for the problem might be due to the server's wanting to dynamically assign some DNS numbers. With EPPPD you can't get dynamically assigned DNS numbers. Regards, Sam Heywood -- This mail was written by user of The Arachne Browser - http://arachne.cz/
