Logs at this end show that Orcon are indeed assigning the DNS server
addresses during the PPP negotiation phase again. I can't confirm
that they stopped doing this as you have said (because we use a hard-
coded DNS server IP) but I believe you! ;)

I can however confirm they are assigning them as of our last login
(approx 45 mins ago).

Funnily enough, they are assigning the same IP address for both
primary & secondary DNS (210.55.12.1) whereas they used to assign
210.55.12.1 & 210.55.12.2 (still silly IMHO as they are both within
the same /24 range and therefore could possibly both go offline at
the same time).

Regards,
Pete
