Thank you! For some reason I seem to be using a loopback, but I don't
see where the configuration outside is handled:

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 127.0.1.1

Perhaps I am running a DNS server locally? I don't remember doing that
but it is possible that I just forgot. I do see that I'm listening on
port 53:

$ netstat -ntulp | grep 53
tcp        0      0 127.0.1.1:53            0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN      -
udp        0      0 127.0.1.1:53            0.0.0.0:*
         -
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5353            0.0.0.0:*
         -
udp6       0      0 :::5353                 :::*
         -



How should I go about diagnosing this? I would have assumed that my
DNS would point to the same address as the default gateway as the
router does do DNS.
