In the resolv.conf 38.119.156.15 is the server IP. I have also
found that when the server asks for an external file e.g.
rpm --import  http://www.fedoralegacy.org/FEDORA-LEGACY-GPG-KEY
it actually looks for it at
http://www.realdns.biz/FEDORA-LEGACY-GPG-KEY

Thanks for all help and guidance,

Kind regards,

John Fox.
