Hi,

we use the DNS with TSM server 5.2.2.2 (AIX) and didn't notice any problem
of performances with the Web admin tool.

Best regards,

But... As the APARs indicate, it is typically the case that TSM helped
identify a site configuration/service problem, which needs to be pursued,
as it can affect all applications running on that system.

DNS lookups should be almost instantaneous in a well configured system.
(Having an unresponsive DNS server's IP address in a DNS servers list
can result in a four-second failover delay before rotating to the next
address in the server list.)

I would urge pursuit of the underlying problem.
