i run a named server on my network. i want my n800 to use that for DNS, which it does when browsing the web, but when i want to ssh to something, i have to use ip because the DNS doesnt resovle. why isnt this standard compliant?

i do not have any of the tmp files you specify (on my n800 with diablo). should they be created?

what does dnsmasq do and why is it interfering with normal DNS resolution?
