1.
	Hotel's implementing "transparent" DNS caching which was not
	transparent.  This breaks any iterative resolvers sitting
	behinde the "transparent" DNS cache as they are expecting
	authoritative answers and the answers from the cache are
	non-authoritative.  Iterative resolvers will become more
	common as people turn on DNSSEC validation and need a
	DNSSEC aware path and the easiest way to do that is to
	be a iterative resolver.

	While I can understand interception of DNS queries prior
	to signing on there is no justification in continuing to
	intercept the queries after signing on especially queries
	with RD=0 as the answers will not be accepted.

2.
	DHCP offers not being accepted due to the offer have a ttl of
	1.  Fault in the router.
