I had started using them sometime way back when Charter was having some 
serious DNS problems. Back then someone on the list had suggested those 
2 IPs, I don't remember who. When I made the change my problems then had 
gone away. Also I'm not sure of the DNS search path, I've never used 
that before, my guess is that is something that Comcast is plugging in 
along with the IP of their DNS for my 3rd DNS.
