Does it still auto-resolve to the ISP's defaults? Just a question… if I add this to my OSX config, what happens with my router? Does it still auto-resolve to the ISP’s defaults?

If you already have dns servers in there, then you'll probably want to write those down first, but in my case, it was blank when I got there. If you're doing this to a work machine though, you'd probably want to check with your sys admin first, so you don't break a company dns connection on your machine or piss the IT guy off...

Just remember your previous settings (which is usually just leaving the field blank) and that's it. With Mac OS X you don't even have to reboot. W00t. ;-) You can undo it if you’d like.
