Setting static DNS servers in /etc/sysconfig/network/config failed to solve the
problem (they were not written to resolv.conf on network restart or reboot)
hard coding the upstream DNS servers for my ISP in resolv.conf did solve the
problem
I use Qwest.net via a Motorola 3347-02 DSL gateway. via DHCP this publishes
itself as the local DNS server & forwards requests directly to the upstream
servers (doesn't appear to cache locally but I cant be sure of this)
Not sure what the problem is with the resolv.conf created by DHCP
search local
nameserver 192.168.0.1
as I can see the DNS reply (with correct IP address) in wireshark, it then
appends the .local domain which of course fails resolution
with the upstream servers hard coded as follows
search local
nameserver 192.168.0.1
nameserver 205.171.3.25
nameserver 205.171.2.25
DNS resolution works as expected. The first resolve.conf file above works fine
on other Linux distro's and on my MAC.
***** I initially thought this was a Gnome problem as DNS lookup was fine from
***** the command line, I've since noted that lynx has similar resolution
***** problems from the command line, please reassign this as appropriate.
