Are you asking how to start using DNS on a system that did not use
it previously? Use smitty tcpip, and fill in the address of the dns and
the domain under minumum, and start using dns under further
configuration. If this has already been set up, there will be a
/etc/resolv.conf file. In that case, perhaps it is being overruled by a
/etc/netsvc.conf that contains "hosts=local". In that case, change it
to hosts=local,bind  so it will search the /etc/hosts file first, and then
search dns.

Cordially,

Hi at all.....
I use Netview 5.0 on Aix 4.2.1.

I have a etc\host file with my router's hostname....instead to use this file, I
want to
use my DNS Server.....on my aix  I haven't named daemon operative....
I insert a ip name in my DNS server regarding a router, but If I use demand pool
on that router , Netview6000 is non able to resolve ip address in ip name....
How can I do?

thanks!

dimitri
