>The Linux box has got hosts file entry for itelf and other servers on the

>the server names). But this is not the case when internet connection is
>down. With the Net down, the telnet/ftp takes a good five minutes.

>my /etc/resolv.conf entries are :
>search local.domain
>nameserver 127.0.0.1
>nameserver 192.168.1.1 # ip of Linux box for internal network

>And if i do a nslookup <name-of-server> , i get the ip resolved properly.
