If SQL is pronounced "sequel" then surely DNS is pronounced "Dennis"?

@robin @bloor did a short stint to cover when a colleague had an accident. New office install 80% done. Under trained and out of my depth and lacking expertise, but was least worst option at the time (and a loooong time ago ie multiple IDNS lines internet days)
From that experience the next time I ask Dennis nicely and they don't respond I'm for dragging Dennis into the underground carpark and f'ning them up good. Just saying.

@bloor actually, considering how DNS works, it should be pronounced as "Donos"

(joke explanation: it's russian for "snitching", "denunciation")
