I'm having a domain name resolution problem with AIX. Apparently, recursive
lookup toward the root does not work, e.g.,
suppose the machine "shoalcreek" is the "austin.ibm.com" domain and
the machine "brazos" is the "ibm.com" domain
from "shoalcreek", I try to telnet to "brazos":
shoalcreek# telnet brazos
If you're on nameservice this should work. Your "austin.ibm.com" nameserver
won't find "brazos.austin.ibm.com" and so will pass the request up through
cache to the nameserver for "ibm.com" who finds "brazos.ibm.com" in its
domain and so sends successful resolution back to "shoalcreek".
Only it doesn't work. In our case here at Boeing with a comparable scenario
it just returns "unknown host".
Has anyone encountered this? Any help much appreciated.
