The DNS is ONLY used when boting the system.
It's role is to give the object it's dictionary.
If as you suggest an object gets given a dictionary when it is created then
the DSN is only used for the initial object.
[Aside: I think dictionary's shouldn't be a special thing associated with an
object -- any object that you know about that supports the right methods should
be a dictionary]
