True, but there are many services out there that provide DNS-based URL forwarding, where some.url.com can be forwarded to some.other-url.com/file.html. So, technically, it *is* possible to "set up DNS for http://www.test.com/test/test.htm"; but doing so requires a special service that supersedes DNS, a URL forwarding service. Such special services typically require a fee.
DNS in and of itself cannot resolve URLs that have filenames in them.
