Re: Name Server in the Router?

That it true as long as your clients use the DNS server from the router. Just. for example, I've seen many people told by some clueless friends to set and use Google's DNS on their clients (so it can slurp even more data about you) because they believe it's faster, cooler, etc. etc. bypassing then the router DNS - and then you need an external DNS to resolve it to a your local address. Quite also stupid if you changed your router IP because you use a different address scheme (albeit quite unusual in small, less "nerdy" setups).
