- If you run NIS, (with -b) the Sun will first look in NIS for the host,
- if it does not find it , it then automatically goes to DNS . If you do
- not use NIS, the Sun goesONLY to /etc/hosts. If it's not there, tough.
- resolv+ is a package rewrite of the BSD Bind routins which will go to
- /etc/hosts and/or DNS in whichever order you want. It involves redoing
- your libc.so library.
- resolv+ was written by Bill Wisner and is in hayes.ims.alaska.edu in
- /networking
