Anyone got a pointer to a coherent discussion of these three options for name resolution? I know how DNS and /etc/hosts work, and know enough about the Resolver to use and configure it for hosts that aren't in DNS.
What I want to understand is (at least): 1) Is the Resolver always involved? That is, is it the equivalent of named on *ix? 2) How is the hierarchy determined? I *think* I've read that you can have z/OS use more than one of these; can you use all three? In which order? I've spent some time looking thru doc but haven't found this, though I'm sure it's there. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
