That should be sufficient for most use cases.

You don't exactly NEED cygserver. But if you have
1. Domain (or even multi-domain) environment.
2. and/or remote/slow/flaky connection to the domain server.
cygserver may provide a smoother experience as it caches some information
related to names resolution.
