Thanks for the prompt reply, As it tuns out I had written in the DNS1 and DNS2 variables in network.conf but forgot to un-comment them so my resolve.conf looked like this. I have no idea how I was getting any dns service at all unless it was the search pacbell.net in my internal machine. Any thoughts? I did have to add the local host to the "allow queries from" in dnscashe. Thanks again, Robert
