um. first post here. hope my question is not too lame. can anyone tell me if a dns address is stuffed into a packet put on the wire? if it is, can it still be in the packet when it goes from ip1 to gateway at ip2 and released into the void? i have lan book by goldman and reviewd 802.3 frame layout but not sure if/where dns address would be included.

my questions stems from this: bigisp.com assigns static ip1, gateway ip2 and dns ip 3,4,5. to littleguy dsl user. are littleguy packets sent to bigisp.com network (ala gateway), access their dns ip 3,4,5 internally, then sent out into the void? does this pose a risk if badman.com has dns ip 3,4,5 registered to badman.com?

links and reading material welcome. any and all help appreciated.
