(As I mentioned in different post, I found the offending line in conf.d/net
and fixed. Or, thought I did...)

Here is /etc/conf.d/net:


config_eth0=( "192.168.100.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.100.255" )
routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.100.1" )

/etc/nsswitch.conf:

passwd:      compat
shadow:      compat
group:       compat

# passwd:    db files nis
# shadow:    db files nis
# group:     db files nis

hosts:       files dns
networks:    files dns

services:    db files
protocols:   db files
rpc:         db files
ethers:      db files
netmasks:    files
netgroup:    files
bootparams:  files

automount:   files
aliases:     files

/etc/hosts:


127.0.0.1       localhost
::1     localhost

/etc/resolv.conf:

nameserver 209.116.241.10
nameserver 216.99.225.31
nameserver 216.99.233.253

. . .

The problem is that I installed djbdns and ran the scripts to set it up. 

It didn't work to cache and serve dns queries, so I gave up. But unmerging
it left me with no DNS at all.

I was hoping to find out what these scripts overwrote that's hijacking my
DNS requests.

Anyway, if anyone on the list has removed djbdns and re-configured access
directly to their ISP's nameservers, I'd like to know if it was effortless,
or was there something else required.
