Hi,
Pls., can somebody help me with Solaris equivalent command for "host"
in AIX. I've searched through the internet & relevant materials
without any help.

I've an in house application which needs to get the IP-address of any
client that connect to it. This IP-address is to be used to send
message to a server application running on Windows.

We've implemented the same on AIX and we're happy with the result,
however migrating to the "live" server running Solaris has become a
serious problem due to lack of command "host".

Please, your urgent assistance is highly appreciated. Details of
command used below:

AIX
$ export NSORDER=bind
$ host solid1_its
solid1_its.solidwire.gr is 10.71.15.100

and the same on Solaris give result below
Solaris
# NSORDER=bind
# export NSORDER
# host solid1_its
host: not found
#

Your kind assistance is appreciated.
