Fedora and fallback DNS servers

Where I went to college [1], CompE was a specialized form of Electrical Engineering, focusing more on digital circuits and the logical building blocks that go into computer hardware. In other words, the physical layer.

Their Computer Science program was originally an offshoot of Mathematics, focused on computational theory and algorithms, although you could get quite a lot of real-world practicalities in the various specializations and electives -- and I recall one course that specifically covered the design principles behind TCP/IP, DNS, and so forth.

> It sounds to me like you have been through a system that blends Computer Engineering with Computer Science, and calls it Computer Science; this does happen in many institutions, but is not the most common case.

"The common case" is clearly not as common as one would think...
