hmm, several questions at mind, what do you mean my "dhcp gives the
nameserver" is this the ISC dhcp 3 client?

is that really a sensible thing to do?
what do standards say (aka RFC's pointers)?

we could set it to the public available google server,
as this one might be better working as this guess of
the el cheapy router box?

according to git history this was added on day 0 of ipconfig,
not that this would justify it.
 
thanks for your input.
