DNS wierdness and cox communications

[Tony E - Jaraeth]

I have a crap load of systems in my apartment and use Cox with no 
problems.  I run a linux file server with BIND for dns, since I have my 
internal network setup with DNS for 192.168.* addresses.  I use my 
firewall/router for backup DNS which uses Cox.  I've not had a problem 
running BIND, nor any problems when defaulting to Cox so far

Regards,.
