This confused me one day when some of the comcast name servers simply 
stopped responding. After a couple calls to support they told me that 
the name servers IPs changed every so often. And I needed to get the 
current IPs from DHCP. I thought they would be static so I hard coded 
them into resolv.conf instead of letting the network scripts do it for 
me. Maybe sonic does the same thing? But why the windows computers 
resolved with the old IPs, I don't know.
