Re: DNS issue not failover to secondary DNS
DNS is normally handled inside HP-UX. Do you know if Oracle EBS handles its own DNS resolution? Or did the EBS program just configure the /etc/resolv.conf file in HP-UX?

Re: DNS issue not failover to secondary DNS
Just configure the 3 DNS IP on resolv.conf file for the server naming resolution..If one of the DNS IP fail then its took long time to handle the query to the second DNS IP . And because of that some oracle oracle listener got hung and clients are unable to communicate .

SolutionThe failover time for /etc/resolv.conf is 30 seconds for each DNS server. You have to configure Oracle to wait 100 seconds before giving up.
Better yet, don't use hostnames. IP addresses for database engines should never change so they can be hardcoded in the configs. No DNS timeout ever.

Re: DNS issue not failover to secondary DNS
A more complete answer is that the DNS resolver can be configured for retry and timeout. These 2 values can be set in /etc/resolv.conf as follows:
retrans value_in_milliseconds
retry qty
For example, to have a system wait 2 seconds for a reply and retry 3 times after
a timeout:
retrans 2000
retry 3
