Oh we are way beyond that :-)

I have been complaining about the lack of additional Linux and UNIX
support here for well over a decade! What has happened? Nothing at all.
I am still the sole person dealing with the central Linux/UNIX boxes.
So, I'm beyond worrying about doing things that may confuse others.

Having said that, I have opted for making the client script report as a
'dnsr' test (for DNS resolution), and leave the supplied 'dns' test
alone.
