You will need to modify your setup a bit after you install it though. (Its a bit of a pain to get working, as I found out a few months ago..) but it works really great. I did do this.

I get the same problem with LYNX and NETSCAPE. The fix is quite simple once you know it. Generally, connections start with a bind request (ie resolving the address). Just list you name server more than once in /etc/resolv.conf (two or three time will do the trick). This way, the resolver will try all the servers in turn if they fail, and you'll get what you want. I think I've read somewhere there's a limitation of three servers (ie the fourth and after `nameserver' lines in resolv.conf won't be used whatever happpens).
