Thanks for the assistance.

You wrote as an example:

search comtech.ncsu.edu
nameserver 152.1.1.206
nameserver 152.1.1.248

But, for this computer, which is in the ie.ncsu.edu domain, the first
line should be the following, correct?

search ie.ncsu.edu

Also, how are the changes enacted? Are they automatically enacted?
Enacted upon reboot?

Thanks,
Daniel

Daniel,
You can edit /etc/resolv.conf and specify the correct DNS
servers. As an example:

----------------------------------------------------------------
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf

search comtech.ncsu.edu
nameserver 152.1.1.206
nameserver 152.1.1.248
----------------------------------------------------------------

Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks --Will
