One might think that, but I find it often not to be the case. I can recall many networks where the DNS servers returned by the DHCP server didn't work well at all, and things got a _lot_ better when I manually configured a couple working DNS servers (e.g. the Google ones at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). Around here, Comcast's DNS servers are famously bad. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! Hey, waiter! I want at a NEW SHIRT and a PONY TAIL gmail.com with lemon sauce!
