Weeeell, it appears from my system log that I am given no option on
DNS by my ISP - the wonderful Westnet.
I have 10.3.5 running (always a bit scared to do a major update until
I see what happens to others out there - Windoze habit of many
ouches) and I have **no** DNS specified in the networking prefs.
Extract from the 'system log' just now:
"Nov 9 11:44:03 localhost pppd[651]: Serial connection established.
Nov 9 11:44:03 localhost pppd[651]: Using interface ppp0
Nov 9 11:44:03 localhost pppd[651]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cu.modem
Nov 9 11:44:05 localhost pppd[651]: local IP address 220.235.56.233
Nov 9 11:44:05 localhost pppd[651]: remote IP address 202.72.191.162
Nov 9 11:44:05 localhost pppd[651]: primary DNS address 202.72.191.199
Nov 9 11:44:05 localhost pppd[651]: secondary DNS address 203.10.1.9"
So this may be the reason that I haven't found any consistent
behaviour with the Safari stutter :-)
Do other ISPs serve you up their DNS like this?
