AFAIK WINS is used for all our LAN-based networking lookups (NT 4.0
network).  We do not run a local DNS - the only DNS that is used is
configured on the Internet gateway to lookup internet addresses.  I'll have
to investigate further but I may leave reverse lookups off for now.

Thanks for the help - it's like I'm talking to one of the authors of the
program or something ;-)
