Hi,
I'm confused:
"Here's the problem: If I set up my client machines to use DHCP for
everything (IP address as well as DNS server) then the DNS server address
they get back is 192.168.2.1 (i.e. the router). With this setting the
clients are unable to resolve internet names but they are able to resolve
intranet names."
If the DHCP DNS setting points to your router, and your router is connected
to the Internet - Shouldn't you be able to resolve internet names? From what
you're saying, you can't...
