[MLB-WIRELESS] Melbwirelses DNS and Domain Names

[Ryan Abbenhuys]

Yep, I get ya Matt.  I think i'm experiencing that at home at the moment. 
I'll test it tonight to confirm, but I believe my DNS server is resolving
both WAN address for people connected to my AP and also Internet addresses.

I think this probably is a good idea as you're saying, providing it doesn't
impact much on my net connection. Of course if my ISP's DNS server dies I
suppose things will stop resolving. that sound right?
