Re: Earthlink's broken DNS affecting Tor nodes?

This doesn't work; it keeps resetting. Are you using Ubuntu? the path
for the config is /etc/dhcp3/dhcpclient.conf. Anyway, using 'prepend'
works, but 'supercede' does not for some reason. going to
welcome.opendns.com shows the error page. How do I manually flush my
DNS client's cache (assuming that this is the problem? At this rate,
it may just make more sense to run a local caching nameserver on
localhost and then set the OpenDNS IPs as the higher-up resolvers...

Thanks!
