Well, I know that the machine wants to do a reverse lookup on its IP address in order to configure its hostname. And if you specify the location of any resources (like the kickstart file) by hostname then of course you're going to need a resolver somewhere. There's no reason to have it running on the actual kickstart server, though. - J<
