- We're having trouble setting up our sparcs to use the nameserver
- properly. Telnet, Ftp and sendmail don't use the nameserver to look
- up addresses. Instead, I always have to use the IP number. Nslookup
- works as it should. What are we missing? Any suggestions would be
- greatly appreciated.

- Thanks,
