I regularly switch to my local account in my router, but my PC's NIC is configured with a static IP.

Which DNS details can I fill into my PC's NIC so that both my local-only and international accounts work without needing to change my DNS settings on my NIC everytime I switch accounts on my router?

Is what I am asking impossible?

My local ISP is Axxess and my Int ISP is Cybersmart
 
Hi what I do is set the DNS on my nic's to my router's local adress never had a problem
 
Remember that DNS is hierarchical, so as mentioned above, you just have to point it to the closest device that can forward the request - in this case your router....
 
And then what to do with the secondary DNS server configuration?

I am confused, if you are switching the account on your router, ur router's dns then changes as well?
IF you set you static dns on your pc to the internal of your router, it shouldnt cause an issue?

Never mind, my mistake.

I assumed that both the primary and alternate/secondary DNS server addresses are required on the PC, like with domain DNS configuration.

I am sorted now, thanks for the help
