Hi,
thanks to
Randy Romero
and
"NO UCE"
for their replies.
"NO UCE " points me in the right direction:
Our Nameserver was NOT doing reverse name resolution for the IP address
0.0.0.0
(see
ANyway, this got me thinking: (Sorry, currently only in cache) I t-h-i-n-k
this applies
http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:R5FH-mmeJ6sJ:www.fintech.ru/Library/BO/SEUMBO/V1/ch10/ch10.htm+0.0.0.0.in-addr.arpa.+Internet+PTR&hl=en
)
Now the TSM server still asks for a hostname for 0.0.0.0 (seems to be
normal) but our nameserver replys to this request immediately.
regards
Bernd

Subject: TSM and DNS resolution problem

I've a strange problem with one of our TSM Servers:
dsmadmc waits at least about 60 seconds after entering the userid before
it prompts for the password. After that we can use dsmadmc normal but from
time to time there's again a pause before it executes a command.
Doing a snoop we found, that the machine sends the following requests to
our nameserver (tsmarz.akabank.de is the TSM Server, cobalt1.akabank.de/
194.127.238.28 is the nameserver) while starting dsmadmc:
bash-2.05# snoop 194.127.238.28
Using device /dev/hme (promiscuous mode)
tsmarz.akabank.de -> cobalt1.akabank.de DNS C 0.0.0.0.in-addr.arpa.
Internet PTR ?
tsmarz.akabank.de -> cobalt1.akabank.de DNS C
28.238.127.194.in-addr.arpa. Internet PTR ?
cobalt1.akabank.de -> tsmarz.akabank.de DNS R
28.238.127.194.in-addr.arpa. Internet PTR cobalt1.akabank.de.
tsmarz.akabank.de -> cobalt1.akabank.de DNS C cobalt1.akabank.de.

cobalt1.akabank.de -> tsmarz.akabank.de DNS R cobalt1.akabank.de.

tsmarz.akabank.de -> cobalt1.akabank.de DNS C 0.0.0.0.in-addr.arpa.

If we remove the entries from /etc/resolv.conf everything works fine.
AFAIK the network and DNS configuration on the machine is okay:
bash-2.05# uname -a

I appreciate any hint where to look for the cause of this behaviour.
