Forgive me my inexperience, but Andy's comment about testing has me worried.
After I've made the change to /etc/resolv.conf, what should I be doing to
test the change? I've successfully pinged an outside site, is there
anything else?
Not really. If you can resolve things by name then it's working. It
should be pretty obviously working or not whenever you try to do
anything that resolves names.
BitFolk has a couple of customers who are on a different address
range to everyone else and I forgot to allow one of them to use the
resolver, and it's that sort of thing I'd be looking out for.
Cheers,
Andy
