The announced dns-server must be the one, which is part of your hna4 set 
(external networks connected via an interface) or part of one of the node's 
addresses. This check is built in to avoid foolish announcements (in a simple 
manner).

So it is not the IP of your node. That is why it does not work.

No problem :)

PS Maybe it is best in your case to simply write 150.43.110.1 
into /etc/resolv.conf and leave the option following option from the 
lib/nameservice/README empty (or point it to a /tmp/whatever), as described 
here:
PlParam "resolv-file" "/path/to/resolv.conf"
        path to resolv.conf file (usually /etc/resolv.conf)
        if set, the 3 nearest (best ETX) upstream nameservers annonced
        by other nodes in the network are written to this file


PPS Aaah, I just remember, that the dns-server option in the current cvs and 
0.4.10 code simply dismissed the dns-server option. I introduced another 
feature to the nameservice lib, and think that I fixed this bug thereby. 
Please try to compile my "enhanced" lib from
http://www2.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~nachtiga/nameservice.tar.gz

Otherwise try the above...
