[K12OSN] basic networking question

[rmcdaniel at indata.us]

 If your ISP is providing DHCP with a router, ask them to add the DNS
entries to the DCHP configuration.  If you are providing DHCP with your
LTSP server, then you can add the DNS entries to the config file and it
will hand them out along with the IP address and Gateway IP address.
