Again, this doesn't require that they run their own DNS server. It is only
necessary to run your own DNS server if you wish to have multiple URN
resolvers for different parts of your URN namespace. In fact, you don't have
to run a DNS server under any circumstances, if the registration authority
which gave you the OID is willing to maintain DNS records for you. You do
have to be able to run a URN resolver, of course.
