How do your LAN machines know what is in /etc/hosts on you DS system?

How is your dns resolver setup on these LAN machines?  If each LAN

not need to query dnscache?

What am I missing?

Dare to fix things before they break . . .

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we
think we know.  The more I know, the more I know I don't know . . .
