I think you need the quote around the file name since it's not a keyword and it's text.
Then your dns.txt file needs to be formated correctly, especially concerning the separator : by default I think TABs are used and \N is used to say NULL. You can go aver that with USING DELIMITERS ';' for example and WITH NULL AS '' if your dns.txt look like this :
aeomc04;10.121.4.157
somcmd1;10.121.23.57
aeomc05;10.121.4.162
gsmomc6;10.121.4.154
hope this helps
Arnaud
