Ye GODS!  That's really weird.  The redhat-config-network script should
have set that up for you.  Ah, well, you did it by hand and it works.
Huzzah!

Edit (or create) /etc/resolv.conf and insert a line:

	nameserver 192.168.0.7

Optional: You can also add a line:

	domain yourdomain.com

to automatically add ".yourdomain.com" to the end of any queries you
might make for machines in your local domain (ones without a domain
name).  For example, "dig fbsd" would be translated to
"dig fbsd.yourdomain.com).  See "man resolv.conf" for details.
