Dear all,
we are running under Solaris 2.7 the host name resolution via
this /etc/nsswitch.conf entry:
hosts: files nis dns
where the /var/yp/Makefile contains the line
B=-b
and the /etc/resolv.conf has these lines:
domain north.de.astrium.corp
nameserver 149.243.254.8
nameserver 149.243.254.6
Calling for examples
%ftp ftp.sun.com
we see that our Sun queries the 2 nameservers for
ftp.sun.com.north.de.astrium.corp
i.e. it appends the domain name from the /etc/resolv.conf
to the address.
Why does this happen respectively would the name resolution
not be faster without this suffix?
Many thanks for your suggestions, hints!
