In other words, can I use 192.168.0.5 as the DNS address in their configs? The reason that I need DNS is because Unix Services 2.0 for Windows requires it to work properly but it can not be installed on the same machine that has Unix Services for Windows loaded. (Yet another reason to move from Windows). Eventually, I plan to do away with all of this but for now, this is the best solution I have. Thanks for your help!

Will this be perceived as a DNS server from my other = nodes?  In other words, can I use 192.168.0.5 as the DNS address = in their configs?  The reason that I need DNS is because Unix = Services 2.0 for Windows requires it to work properly but it can not be = installed on the same machine that has Unix Services for Windows = loaded. (Yet another reason to move from Windows).  Eventually, I = plan to do away with all of this but for now, this is the best solution = I have.

Thanks for your help!
