Have they changed so much in Intrepid? When I look at my resolve file,
the permissions appears more appropriate and as you see, I am walking out
to the Internet via a router in which all the needed name servers are
listed. In that way, I only need to reference the router as name server.
This has always worked:

search fiskeryd
nameserver 192.168.0.1
