Er, I forgot to mention that it was my ISP whose resolver I used, and I have a perfect right to use their resolver when necessary. I try not to, when I am traveling, given the latency. But it is not like, for example, using an open relay, or even using John Gilmore's open by design relay at toad.com. I dont know how, but dns requests to those resolvers worked, whereas my local resolver got proxied through their dns .. if it was a transparent proxy that'd not be the case. -srs
