DNS is not running off 192.168.1.111. Its running off 192.168.1.1 . If I
remove the isp dns from resolv.conf, nothing works. The forwarding is done
on the gateway. The problem is that dns doesn't seem to work
automatically, so nslookup falls back onto one of the secondary servers
listed. However, I can set the server manually, and then it works.

[lott@eliot lott]$ nslookup
