We don't want to setup or HP3000 as a DNS server.  Are there any problems that we need to be aware of?  If so, what are they and how can we address them?  We would like to rid the hard-coding of IP addresses in our FTP processes and do not want to set up the addresses in NMMGR.  I've used RESLVCNF before and had success.  Word on the street states that there are problems with the use of this and we should go to MPE/iX 6.0.

You travel on a different street than I do.  ;-)

I'm not aware of any DNS client or server issues on either 5.5 or 6.0.
