4.2.2.1, 2, & 3 are old GTE root servers. Verizon used to recommend them
for new DSL configurations in Northern VA. I use these all the time (though
my local NetWare servers all do DNS, so I point there, first. Those servers
then go up to 4.2.2.1, 2, & 3 for addresses which they haven't yet cached.

AFAIK, while you may enter any number of DNS addresses in resolv2, only the
first three get used. You can test this by making two bogus entries for the
top ones & then running NSLOOKUP.
