addresses in your IPCop box and that bypasses your ADSL Modem.
TIA, Lanny
My advice is to forget DNS on the modem because it won't be more up-to-date than the cache on the IPCop server, so it won't serve any useful function. Set the IPCop box to use the IP addresses provided by opendns.com. It will cache DNS query results and contact the opendns servers when it needs to refresh expired data or get new data not already in the IPCop cache. The modem can't help in this scenario, so leave it alone and bypass it by telling IPCop to go directly to opendns for DNS queries.

Cheers,

Ian
