Yes, I know all about dig. Unfortunately, it isn't included with Solaris. I don't see it at sunfreeware.com either. In any case, I stumbled upon an answer, and was relieved that this wasn't some incredibly easy thing that I'd just forgotten. I needed to add "dns" to "ipnodes" in nsswitch.conf, and all is well now. -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * *********************************************************************** -- KPLUG-List@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
