server dns issue

One of our servers at Dallas stopped sending us daily status emails. Mentioned it to PB. He checked the logs and found DNS not resolving. Checked the nameserver, found it was set to 4.2.2.2. Apparently that belongs to Level 3.

Asked Codero tech support, they said that for that data centre, the nameserver has to be some external one, like Google's and so on. Apparently just editing /etc/resolv.conf is not the answer, but have to edit /etc/network/interfaces and reboot. So P set it to Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and rebooted, problem solved.
