Hello Managers,

I have checked in my solaris 2.6 and solaris 8 servers. My
/etc/nsswitch.conf file for 'host' entry looks like (for both servers) -

hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue] dns

However, when I do nslookup, my local (/etc/hosts) entries are ignored and
query directly goes to my dns server. I have some local entries that I want
to make use of without putting them in DNS. How can I achieve this ?

Thanks
Manjeet S. Rekhi
