<p>No, not at all. Those scripts are for creating the hardcoded seed nodes list which is retrieved from an existing DNS seeder.</p>

<p>To add a DNS seeder, you would need to add it to the list of DNS seeders in <a href="https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/chainparams.cpp#L123" rel="nofollow noreferrer">src/chainparams.cpp</a>.

No, not at all. Those scripts are for creating the hardcoded seed nodes list which is retrieved from an existing DNS seeder.

To add a DNS seeder, you would need to add it to the list of DNS seeders in [src/chainparams.cpp](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/chainparams.cpp#L123). Furthermore, you need to have a running DNS seeder which requires special software. One such is <https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin-seeder>.
