I don't think so. Rather you're opening up a potential security hole by running an extra service. >Is it necessary for home-desktops? Not at all.

This goes in /etc/resolv.conf I believe. This happens automatically once you have edited the prepend line in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf. -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
