Oh...and one more thing I might add: I had always thought that your computer would naturally check your DNS server sequentially until it was able to connect to one... However, I'm finding...again with Verio....that it uses the first DNS server it comes to...and not always the one you want it to use. I had to remove 2 DNS servers from my DHCP Global settings, simply because they were giving incorrect resolutions....even though I had 2 DNS servers listed before them!
