The AIX I knew deserved also to be classified as "UNIX".
One possible name server configuration could have been - or could be now -
to have the bulk of the corporate names managed by a dedicated, typically
traditional UNIX, machine, but to have the "mainframe" environment supported
by a Communications Server (CS) IP name server linked into the higher level
name server. At the very least the CS IP name server could act as a cache.

Ted,
In that particular shop, a pair of UNIX (or was it AIX?) servers were used
as the corporate DNS servers. All we ran on the mainframe were the usual
suspects: FTP, SMTP, Telnet. Even though it was (and still is) the most
important data processing environment of the company, the mainframe was
never big enough to handle a DNS service task for the entire corporation.

Ulrich Krueger
