Summary: Sun DNS resolver question

[James A. Harvey]

Wow.  Many thanks for the lightning-quick responses to my SunOS 4.0.3 DNS
resolver problem (the next morning 8-).  It turns out the resolver library
routines distributed with SunOS do not query the DNS by default.  For my
particular situation (Sun 4 running SunOS 4.0.3, not running YP), the fix was
to obtain a new library from uunet.uu.net /sun-fixes/libc_resolv.so.sun4.Z,
uncompress it and move it to /usr/lib/libc.so.1.{next version}, and update
the library cache using ldconfig.  I did this and it works great now.

Thanks again to:
