Heads up for Linksys WRT160N owners

["Robert G. (Doc) Savage" <dsavage@peaknet.net>]

There appears to be a serious bug in the v3 firmware of these routers
that causes DNS resolution problems. The problem is a buggy DNS proxy
that redirects Google requests to AskJeeves, MySpace to Facebook, and
any number of legitimate web sites to porn sites.

There's a work-around, but no permanent bug fix. If you have another
router available (e.g., a rusty trusty WRT54G) you might be well advised
to replace your WRT160N until Cisco releases a firmware update.
