I use recent dev builds on VRPC-SA and VRPC-SE and DNS
is fine. The only issue I have is that when I connect to
the company VPN (Cisco software) the DNS breaks and
nothing will resolve. As soon as I disconnect the VPN it
works again.
When NS DNS lookups fail, the Windows7 apps like Firefox
seem to do DNS lookups OK. Since the resolver addresses
are as far as I can see identical in both Windows side
and RISC OS I don't know how it breaks. Other networking
such as connection to mail server and NFS mounts all
continue working and its only DNS that seems to be broken.

If you want to try anything, pass it my way. I'm using
VRPC and NS all day every day at home and at work.
