[olug] Cox DNS Changes?

[Will Langford]

Already been discussed :) during the thread: [olug] DNS exploit VU#800113 -
should we be alarmed?


Quote From 'Kevin' ....
You can disable that by not taking the default DNS server IPs; follow
the instructions they give under "About this Service" then "Can I opt
out of the service?" for Mac/Windows, and alter to Linux when needed.

Or so they say. I haven't tried it out myself. Yet.
