"DNS server" is a very vague term. Gnus is talking to a server whose address is listed in /etc/resolv.conf, right? Then Gnus is acting as a stub resolver, talking to a server which is a recursive or forwarding resolver. That server might *also* be an authoritative data server, but since it's at leasst a resolver, it should definitely offer TCP service. paul
