What are the addresses of MediaOne's DNS?



Chuck,
Glen,
Jerry,
Scott,

Thank you all for the help. I've got the thing working, but after thinking
about it for a while I'd like to revisit the recent thread about DNS and the
home network.

If I set up DHCP to issue address to the machines on my intranet, will it be
able to relay the DNS info given by M1 during boot? How?

If that won't work, has anyone run a caching DNS to accomplish this?

TIA.
