[oclug] how to specify dns server

[Philippe Tanguay]

You specify them in /etc/resolv.conf

The first line should be your domain name for the isp (in my case it's
magma.ca) and then a nameserver line for each server available.  Such as :

domain magma.ca
nameserver 206.191.0.140
nameserver 206.191.0.210
