Hi,

I've had a 2820 for a while, and its DNS forwarding tends to make my Linux boxes unhappy: I frequently get DNS lookup failures, and when I run 'host xyz' on the troublesome hostname I get 'reply from unexpected source' messages:

> host http://www.imsglobal.org
;; reply from unexpected source: 87.194.255.154#53, expected 192.168.0.253#53
;; reply from unexpected source: 87.194.255.155#53, expected 192.168.0.253#53
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

I know that I can manually enter DNS server addresses via the Vigor's web interface or command line, but what I'd prefer is for it to just pass my ISP's DNS hosts (as delivered when it connects to them) directly to my PCs, leaving them to do their own caching. Anybody know the way to do this?
