It just makes me giddy that the new DNS_LOOKUP table function does not require that you have the following loaded on to your system:
Licensed Product
Program Option Description
5770SS1 31 Domain Name System

Why a client command required a server product baffled me but this gets around it.

My "idea" to unbundle the command NSLOOKUP was declined but my idea to have a SQL Service to replace NSLOOKUP, and not have a requirement for option 31, was accepted and provided. Yay! Love that DB2 team!
