I just installed FreeBSD 4.2 and I can't get it to use the correct name
server. I created the file /etc/resolve.conf and put my domain and name
server's address in it, but when I do anything that involves a DNS lookup it
queries the local machine. What am I missing? This is a dumb question that I
should know the answer to but it has always worked out of the box for every
other installation I have done.
