  14. Help!  I recently set 
  15.  
  16. up the /etc/resolv.conf file to allow "nslookup" to 
  17. use the company's nameserver instead of using /etc/hosts.  However, now
  18. "nslookup" skips the /etc/hosts file completely and goes straight to the
  19. name server.  This is causing all of our printers not to work. Is there a
  20. way to have nslookup check /etc/hosts first and if not found then go to
  21. the company nameserver?   Thanks in advance!
