Been waiting over a week for an answer from SGI, so I'll try posting. I'm using the BIND nameserver for a 4d we have. It seems to work well with our local authoritative nameservers. It can resolve all outside names just fine. However, when I try to contact a computer within our domain giving just the host name (without .erim.org) it times out. If I give the fully qualified name, it works, and after that just the hostname works! This is a bit mysterious. Also, when I'm booting my machine, it attempts to mount the NFS, but it doesn't recognize the other systems, possibly due to the fact that the nameserver isn't up. What file needs to be changed to get the nameserver to start before the NFS file systems are mounted? Sorry if these questions are trivial, I RTFM but am just a rookie when it comes to SYS V administration. Joe Garbarino ERIM P.O.
