I'd disagree with the assertion that you no longer need an internal DNS; there's still value to having the ability to not go out on the wire, and also to periodically lie to various things about the real setup for a subset of the environment. Remember, you're attaching network segments with the Linux stuff, and it's real handy to cache stuff in common for them.
The antique CMS implementation is a royal PITA to do this with, however. > Having said that, would there be torches and pitchforks awaiting us at the > next conference if we chose to remove the VM DNS server from the suite of > supported apps? (No plans...just a Grinchy idea.) Ditch the DB/2-requiring abomination. I'll create a small Linux appliance for the folks that need a real DNS server for VM systems.
