Warning about changing DNS servers. #60

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

This is not bug report.

I think you should display an important warning about the impact of 
changing the name servers.

Computers that belong to an Active Directory domain rely heavily on DNS to 
find their internal resources like domain controllers. Replacing the 
internal, company DNS servers with some public DNS servers just because 
they’re faster can, on short term, disrupt authentication and on long term 
lead to other big problems, like not applying group policy or missing 
software updates.
