You mean like if you use host somedomain.com on your Linux system, when using the modem as the DNS server, you get complaints like "malformed response" etc.? I have had this complaint with ADSL modems - both Huawei and DLink. The solution is to set your Linux host's resolv.conf to directly query your ISP's DNS servers, or OpenDNS servers, or to run a caching DNS on your Linux host, possibly with ISP nameservers or OpenDNS servers set as forwarders. Surprisingly, that proprietary OS that most FOSS people hate to use... works just fine with the DNS implementation on the ADSL modems... a case of two brokens make one "fixed"? :-P Cheers Ed. _______________________________________________ support mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
