For various reasons, I much prefer to run BIND for my DNS rather than YP.
As a result, PC-NFS has YP turned off and therefore, PC-NFS users look like
having to maintain a \nfs\hosts file with hostname/IP-address mappings
so that "telnet" and "ftp" etc will work.  This is very messy though...

Is there any built-in way to get PC-NFS to consult DNS rather than YP on
the server,  or do I have to take to rpc.pcnfsd.c or something?
