    Hi,

    (sorry if you receive this twice, I sent it a couple of days ago but
    the email has still not appeared in the archives, so I try again)

    I have just upgraded my machine at home from woody to sarge and now the
    name resolution doesn't work anymore. To be more precise, programs such
    as Mozilla or lynx don't manage to lookup any names, but i can use host
    or dig or nslookup (or even socket.gethostbyname(...) in Python) without
    problems. Also, once I have looked up a name using host, for example,
    then Mozilla can also find it, at least for some minutes of time.

    I have tried looking in different documents and HOWTO:s and Google but
    haven't found anything really related. Also, I don't know the inner
    workings of name resolution in Linux, so I may have missed something
    obvious.

    Some facts on my setup:
    - I use an ADSL connection with a combined ADSL modem/router configured
       as a DNS relay.
    - ifup seems to detect this setup correctly and writes
    nameserver 192.168.1.1
       in /etc/resolv.conf
    - Since I only have 2 machines connected to the router, I haven't setup
       any DNS for my private network and have simply added a line
    192.168.1.2 MatsPC
       in /etc/hosts

    At the moment, I don't really have any clue on where to search, so any
    hints are welcome.

        /Mats
