   Yeah the versions I've run all allowed DNS server information on the domain   
   line.  I had to go that way, because using root-domain actually broke my   
   othernet polling, even though they had valid node entries, with hardcoded   
   domain names.

   Yep, though I have seen binkd attempt to look up DNS information for othernets,   
   even when there was a node line.

   I have seen scripts in the wild to generate the DNS RRs.  Tried one against my   
   nodelist and discovered some syntax errors in my master file, which I   
   subsequently fixed. :)
