Solving DNS Lag Issue - Gutsy

[Martin Walshe]

Hi,
If you open /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and uncomment the line that begins
prepend domain-name-servers and then add in yours afterwards. This will
force it to use these DNS servers.

You can also try out open dns if you like their servers are 208.67.222.222and
208.67.220.220. To do that add "prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222,
208.67.220.220;"

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Martin.
