Maybe not related at all, but someone on one of the local lists posted something recently about something related to IPv6 causing bogus 1.0.0.0 addresses to be returned from their router. BTW, when you get your DNS via DHCP, does the router/modem send back its own address as the DNS server (ie it acts as a proxy), or does it send back the actual address of the real DNS server (at your ISP)?
