Your presumption isn't right. Of course your machine can ask any DNS-Server to resolve a name. I don't know enough about DNS to recommend to use your ISP's DNS-Servers or to use anyone others. Perhaps it's a question of fairness to use your ISP's DNS-Servers in order to avoid too much network traffic? It would be quite nice if a "network guru" could tell us something about it. > I look forward to exploring wwwoffle's capabilities now! Have much fun with it!
