We study $N$ coincident IIA NS5-branes at large $N$ using supergravity. Weshow that the absorption cross section for gravitons in this background doesnot vanish at zero string coupling for energies larger than $m_s/\sqrt{N}$($m_s$ is the string scale). Using a holographic description of the intrinsictheory of the IIA NS5-branes, we find an expression for the two point functionof the stress energy tensor, and comment on its structure.Comment: 22 pages, harvmac, 2 figures.
