If iHug was blocking DNS then I don't think this command would work
(though I might be wrong):
nslookup - 203.109.252.42
> www.google.com
Server: 203.109.252.42
Address: 203.109.252.42#53
Non-authoritative answer:
www.google.com canonical name = www.l.google.com.
Name: www.l.google.com
Address: 66.102.7.147
Name: www.l.google.com
Address: 66.102.7.99
Name: www.l.google.com
Address: 66.102.7.104
Plus from painful experience I've found the Paradise DNS isn't rock
solid so its always useful to have a fallback position outside
Telstra's network. There's nothing worse than having working Internet
access but no name resolution. Its like getting a remote controlled
car on Christmas without batteries.
