[ale] RH8 "Temporary failure in name resolution"

[Jerry Z. Yu]

	to initiate connection from the router, the router box itself (or 
more specifically, its inner interface)  should be subject to the same 
forwarding rule that intranet boxes are under. However, many believe the 
router's be safer left without its own connection rights.
