Since the WRT54G has a DNS server onboard, you should configure your LAN
hosts to use it (192.168.1.1) for DNS. This will solve the problem of
future DNS changes because the WRT54G picks up DNS peer details from your
ISP every time it renews your public ip address (the same way a windows
client with direct connection would do).
