Mmmm... I never took our cisco class, so I don't know how DNS really works.
I was under the impression that it started out with an IP address, and the rest was some black art. Just thinking plain TCP/IP stuff, no fancy dhcp or wins or whatnot. You saying that if the nameserver is on the same subnet, a comp can find out it's IP address? I'm not saying I doubt you... but I doubt you... (-: Not out of any real knowledge, mind, just experience. But I never really tried using a DNS name for a DNS server, besides with "more than" plain tcp/ip. Or an edited hosts file ;-] And thus- just a doubt, without much conviction. :-) Hell, I don't even know what EIGRP stands for...
