how about
domain dontUthink.com
search lan
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver ip.name.server.addr
? is 127.0.0.1 bad compared to 192.168.1.1 for lan-wise dns?
or does it not make any difference?

and
127.0.0.1 loopback
right?
also, doesn't the sequencing mean something?
208.33.90.85 server server.dontUthink.com
makes display apps (ipfwadm -l for example)
show 'server' instead of trying to use the
full name 'server.dontUthink.com', yes?
mine also has the 'new style' gunk:
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00:: ip6-localnet
...
