Yes but is it being called by doveadm directly or by some other dovecot program 
?  If I'm going to have to go down the AppArmor route, then I would prefer if 
you told me what was calling it instead of me having to un-necessarily spend 
time doing straces !

Also, should I be able to call dns-client directly myself ? (or is there a way 
to do so to enable testing ?)
