Not at all, Dave.

I am posting this from a cluster server that is configured to use a
domain name server.

My clusterconf file still looks like the plain old:

    ############: # Clustercast address--DO NOT REMOVE THIS LINE
    ############:1:hpclscu:r:1:1
    ############:2:hpcll04:c:1:0
    etc...

The *only* thing I had to do to make my cluster use the domain name server
was to create an /etc/resolv.conf file (and of course, some files like
/usr/lib/sendmail.fc have to be re-frozen, but that's easy: just reboot the
cluster once).

P.S. Don't let the "originating host name" on this note fool you (that is
inserted by the "notes" program) - the actual hostname for this machine is
"hpclscu.cup.hp.com".
