[SC.LUG] Resolving DNS issue

[Nev]

Hiya

I've had this issue and the only answer I've cone up with is that some  
routers can't handle this kind of request. Presumably a limitation of  
the internal routing. I wouldn't imagine there's anything 'wrong'.  
When I had the problem it was also with a netgear. Now I have a vigor  
2820 :)
