ms-dns lines defines _Domain Name Service servers_ for client, not client's 
IP-address.

You have to add line to options.ttySx, where names/ip-addresses of sever and 
client are defined:

servername:clientname

Put there instead of servername and clientname name of your server and name, 
reserved for client (without domain name).

Example:

My Linux box has name ns.tartu.customs.ee, for client is reserved name 
m155.tartu.customs.ee, so I have line

ns:m155

Of cource, these names must exist on domain name server.
