<div>Sorry I missed the "reply to all" button earlier. BTW, I pointed you to /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/resolvconf/*, not /etc/dhcpc/*. The /etc/dhcpc files are inputs to your dhcp client. They most certainly won't have the DNS server unless you're trying to configure the client to ignore the one that comes from Time Warner's DHCP server. The stuff in /etc/resolve.conf is usually outputted by your dhcp client with the DNS servers that the DHCP server told you to use.</div>
<div><br></div>Also, have you considered setting up your own local, caching DNS server?<div><br></div><div>In my searching earlier I came across <a href="http://socal.rr.com">socal.rr.com</a>. That may be closer to you and thus faster than <a href="http://orange.rr.com">orange.rr.com</a>.</div>

</div></div>Although Orange County is CLOSE enough, the DNS servers for it are not<br>
FAST enough. The population of OC (in 2006) is 3 million, and since it<br>
is a highly technically oriented populace, "everyone" has and uses the<br>
internet (thus DNS servers) extensively, so those servers are BUSY.<br>
<br>
So I want to find fast servers and I don't give a damn if they belong to<br>
TW Cable or not so long as I'm allowed to use them.<br>
<br>
And I can't find a good way to find ALL the DNS servers in a given<br>
"main" domain, which is what I want... "Main domain" means "only one<br>
period"; for example "<a href="http://yahoo.com" target="_blank">yahoo.com</a>" is a main domain but "<a href="http://mail.yahoo.com" target="_blank">mail.yahoo.com</a>"<br>
is not.<br>
<br>
Brandon Beck posted later on saying the correct servers are in<br>
/etc/dhcpc/dhcpc-eth#.info but the servers there have not changed since<br>
November 2005. They are also in domain <a href="http://orange.rr.com" target="_blank">orange.rr.com</a>.<br>
<br>
(Brandon, I'll have a look at <a href="http://help.rr.com" target="_blank">help.rr.com</a>. Thanks.)<br>
