There is a slightly nasty TypeScript gotcha that imports will be ignored if no imported variables are referenced. That might be what you are hitting? You can use

import "./dns.ts"

to force the file to be imported. https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/FAQ#why-are-imports-being-elided-in-my-emit

@white-balloon-205 that worked! Thanks.
