It dosent seem to be givin the instructions on the telstra url earlier.
The other option is if you router/adsl modem support specifying dns
servers is to put into it the servers specified by that telstra page
earlier or to put OpenDNS servers into the router. That way all
machines connected to your router get updated DNS records. I know most
Linksys units support alternative dns settings and so does my netcomm
nb9w.
