[44net] DNS Additions

Does anyone know if the network coordinator for MA USA watches this list? I emailed him about adding a couple A records for me to get my 44 net going but haven't heard back. I got his callsign off the portal network page and then had to go to QRZ to find his email. Not sure if he still checks the email or not...so I figured I'd ask here. Better question, why do we need to create a DNS entry for hosts to start routing traffic from the 44 net to my gateway? Thanks Craig KC1ETB
