Re: nslookup output mismatch

There is no attachment.

I'm even not sure where the problem should be, since you wrote different servers

$ nslookup herdapp2

and

$ nslookup hrdvault


What exactly is the problem? Please clarify.

Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: nslookup output mismatch

I would ask dr_dt from a console session first (run dr_dt utility).

Hope this helps!

Re: nslookup output mismatch

The two servers find IP addresses in completely different ways. herdapp2 is using DNS, usually a bad idea, especially for workstations that are running Xwindows (xamanager). hrdvaul is looking in /etc/hosts for two possible reasons: 1. there is no /etc/resolv.conf file at all, therefore, no DNS server will be used. 2. hrdvaul is using resolv.conf but the /etc/nsswitch.conf file specifies files, then dns.

To solve the problem (and future problems with any HP-UX servers and workstations), create an /etc/nsswitch.conf that looks like this:

passwd: files
group: files
hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=continue] dns
ipnodes: files [NOTFOUND=return UNAVAIL=return TRYAGAIN=return]
services: files
networks: files
protocols: files
rpc: files
publickey: files
netgroup: files
automount: files
aliases: files

Now nslookup should work as expected. You probably need to contact your DNS administrator to correct any errors.

Re: nslookup output mismatch

Contact your DNS admin

What do you get for:

nslookup 10.5.26.3?
nslookup 10.5.26.1?
