In konqueror, sometimes dns lookups are failing - I think it's a problem
with my router configuration, but that isn't the issue - and then I
_always_ get redirected to wwwh.found-not-help.com! I would _far_ rather
get a generic "domain not found" message.
Can anyone say, is this happening in the Ubuntu resolver, Konqueror, or
<shudder> my ISP's DNS. Can anyone tell me how to find out?
fwiw, I can invariably back up one page and get the page I was looking for.

I don't know the answer, but what I would try first is setting my DNS to
someone else - like opendns.
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
You can always change back if it doesn't work, or if you object to opendns
on principle, as some people do...

What does /etc/resolv.conf have in it ?
That would be the place to look first.

Hmmm. That's interesting. I was thinking I couldn't do that. I have
routers within routers but the one connected directly to the internet has a
caching DNS built in - and I can't touch it. There's really no reason I
can't have the wireless router - through which everybody connects - go
through openDNS, though. Definitely worth a try.
fwiw, what prinicple do people find objectionable about openDNS?

_That_ has 192.168.100.1, of course :-)
That address is my wireless router - _it_ is getting addresses from the
satellite modem, and _that's_ getting addresses from the ISP's DNS. Too
damn many levels of DNS (though I need _one_ of the routers to be caching
them, as you don't want to make more requests via the satellite than
necessary - that's a 500 millisecond latency).

Damn. May not be able to do this after all. Noop pointed to google, and
one of the top items there is about HughesNet (indirectly who I use) & the
modem seems to redirect _any_ DNS traffic to Hughes IPs. We'll see - there
seems to be a workaround.
