Networking/SSH Problems with 9.10

[Tim Henderson]

My settings are identical to those used in all previous versions.  Any 
idea why the DNS would be affected by *only* 9.10?

I have tried upgrading and fresh installs of 9.10, all of which have the 
same problems.

I can try tweaking my settings.  I use static settings.
