Can't you just point the resolvers on the box to another recursor, <br>
rather than at the cPanel DNS server, to fix this? Clearly I don't have <br>
much experience with these terrible control panel things, but this <br>
sounds like a pretty broken mode of operation, or perhaps there's a <br>
missing integration point that should be leveraged to avoid this being a <br>
customer problem.<br>
