If doing NAT or AD it is required. Otherwise it is still a liability.
Example: <br>
CSCsw88022 Database should still start and function when DNS is
unavailable <br>
<br>
In this case Informix will not start if configured DNS servers are
unreachable.<br>

yes, but the dependence on DNS will still affect you intermittently.<br>

Can we enable DNS but still program the IP address of the CUCM nodes ?<br>

Enabling DNS will affect all operations. It's not a component-wise
defined feature, think all or nothing. <br>
<br>
All code calls gethostbyname(), gethostbyip(),gethostentry().. which
invokes host name resolution features.<br>
<br>
Just make sure:<br>
1. forward resolution for all servers work<br>
2. reverse resolution for all servers work<br>
3. all servers use same dns suffix<br>
<br>
CLI 'set network dns...' is the command set to set and enable dns.<br>

question about DNS.. <br>
<br>
Originally I did not enable DNS on any nodes, as it was not needed. I
would now like to configure an SMTP server for alerts, and our systems
group wants me to use a name instead of IP. Are there any ramifications
to turning on DNS, regarding things like database replication or
intracluster communications? My servers are all defined by IP
addresses, so it should be using that through-out, right?<br>
<br>
I'm assuming various "set network dns*" commands will turn this on if I
decide to do that.<br>

<div>On the surface this seems an odd question so I'm sure
there
is
misunderstanding.<br>
<br>
CM needs access to DNS to perform forward and reverse lookups on:<br>
SIP endpoints<br>
h323 endpoints<br>
AD servers<br>
other nodes in the cluster<br>
<br>
There are deployments which do not use any of these and therefore do
not need access to a DNS server. On those, DNS can be disabled.<br>
