And none of the above should be used as your nameservers in your
resolv.conf, unless you are a client of UQ (cuscus/krefti), caliburn
itself, or an employee of Plugged In (ritchie).
Otherwise, the nameservers mentioned in your /etc/resolv.conf are
dependent on your ISP, and for bigpond these are (as per
http://www.bigpond.com/Home/Support/Tools/Config):
nameserver 139.134.5.51
nameserver 139.134.2.190
