Since you have "nameserver 127.0.0.1" in "/etc/resolv.conf", I'd guess that you have dnsmasq running and that it forwards your queries to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 when you specify them in "/etc/network/interfaces". If you are running dnsmasq, "ps ax o cmd | grep dnsmasq" should give you the full command that launched it as well as the file that has the "external" dns servers (that's what I used on a new Ubuntu 12.04 desktop install on which resolvconf and dnsmasq are installed by default; the server's been spared dnsmasq...). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
