For me, DSN means "delivery status notification", and it's an MTA function, not a name server function. The real question, though, is "why not run named?". It's trivial to set up a caching-only name server, and it's much faster than using remote name servers or /etc/hosts. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
