[NTLUG:Discuss] ...a little more on AT&T as it stands...

[Bob Byron]

Well, I don't have a complete understanding of your
environment, but I would setup my server/firewall to 
be a DNS server, then I point all of my 192.168.*
machines to use it.  As long as the server is in good 
shape, then the private machines would be okay.
