My one tech tweet for the day (week?) Okay... TIL by sheer accident that my router can act as a nameserver. And it works! Is this common for home routers?

I was setting up ppp over a serial link today (... don't ask), and I got everything set up correctly but couldn't connect to the Internet. I looked at an old known-to-work resolv.conf and realized I didn't have a nameserver set up. The nameserver was my router.
Yup, they usually put their own IP in the DHCP nameserver option field, so LAN computers will proxy through it by default.
