We currently are using Microsoft DNS (2003) and are considering also using DNS on our Novell Server (Netware 6.5 SP7) because of some issues regarding IPrint.  The main issue consists of losing  connections randomly to the IPrint Server.  So we believe by turning on the DNS on the Novell server it should take care of these issues.  My question is it recommended to have DNS on both of these Servers or is there any other recommendations to this issue.

NetWare is a computer network operating system developed by Novell, Inc. It initially used cooperative multitasking to run various services on a personal computer, using the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) network protocol. It is hardware-independent, running on any suitable Intel-based PC compatible system, and a wide range of network cards. Products inclue NetWare Directory Services (NDS), a global directory service similar to Microsoft's Active Directory; GroupWise, an email system; ZENworks, an application configuration suite; and BorderManager, a security product. Open Enterprise Server, the current iteration, runs on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
