Michael,
Hi. As you've by now realized/found out, using a VPN client can often wreck
havoc with your system/dns/ip addresses. In fact, you might actually run
into an issue where you have device conflicts if you happen to have staticly
allocated ip addresses in your network, and you hook to a vpn setup that has
used the same subclass...
gotta be careful these days!!

Thanks for the response, Manuel. Although I've had this problem a few
times, I rebooted today, and most things seem to be working. The DNS
problem seems to have fixed itself.
I think maybe the problem was actually related to an SSL-VPN client
I'm using (Juniper Network Connect), which is heavy handed, and
changed my DNS suffix and secondary DNS servers.

Hi Michael.
What happen if you set up the dns in the /etc/resolv.conf?
I guess that maybe your problem is that the DCHP server is overwritting
your
resolv.conf, you might want to take a look at
the: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX file and look at the line:
PEERDNS maybe you should try to set it to no:
PEERDNS=no
Cheers
Manuel
