It doesn't.

Here's the joblog from the V4R5 box, which is set for 
"remote first" priority:

     Unknown host, WWW.GOOGLE.COM
 3>> dspjoblog

When I tried it on our V4R4 box (set for "local first" 
priority; it's also the one I re-IPLed after changing the 
DNS addresses to known-good ones), the job nearly took 
over the machine for several minutes, and had to be held 
to keep it from embarrassing us in front of a customer 
during a demo.

Something is definitely wonky. Is there some other DNS 
resolution protocol besides UDP on Port 53? Is there some 
other setting that would screw up DNS? Is there some 
setting in our Linksys router's firewall that would allow 
PCs to do DNS resolution, but not the 400s?
