Well, I have to ask this.  If the DNS fails, how will my browser know 
where to go?  From my understanding, when I type in abc.com and hit 
enter or go, the first thing it does is go to a DNS server to see what 
the actual number is.

Another question.  Mine failed on some of the ones yours passed on.  Is 
that a local setting or something between me and the site I am going 
to?  In other words, can I change something here or is it outside my 
control?  I think it is outside my control but want to make sure.
