/etc/nsswitch.conf includes:
hosts: files dns
When debugging, don't use nslookup. It is very old and very buggy at
this point.
Use "dig"
You can do things like:
dig sunsolve.sun.com
dig sunsolve.sun.com @10.99.16.5
dig sunsolve.sun.com @ns2.sun.com
etc.
In order to hunt down where the DNS breakdown is.
Also, try using "sunsolve.sun.com." to help figure out if you are
appending your own domain name to the query.
