      In linux, what should you set the DNS settings to when there is no DNS service that can be accessed? By design, not as a mistake (just to clarify).

      So if you for instanced tried to access a DNS server it shouldn't even try and then timeout. It should just immediately return "host not found".

        @Pete-S wouldn't you simply keep this blank?

            Don't set an address and disable DNS deamon?

            *edit - maybe the DNS client isn't an deamon? Not sure what I'm talking about... 🙂

              Yeah I'd probably just do loopback
