When using Google DNS, I am unable to DNS resolve local servers. For example, I have a local webserver known as COMPUTER8, which handles some requests. However, when using Google DNS, the DNS fails to return the local IP address.
I would like to avoid using hosts or specifying hard IP addresses due to the dynamic nature of the local network.
Is there a good way to use Google DNS and still be able to use local servers? I presume the local servers obtain their DHCP IPs from the router, so would it be possible to set the secondary DNS server to that of the router?

before? Please disable Google DNS and provide the output ofnslookup computer8
(run it in a command prompt).
