Basically you are going to have that system act as its own dns lookup.  Any entries you need external will need to be in /etc/host to limit access.

Apologies for top posting.

Thanks for the suggestion and I would do that if it was the gateway machine.

My etc/resolve.conf file has to references to rogers namesaver in it.

If I rem out those 2 lines I don't think that machine will go anywhere.

I may be wrong on that.

Dave
