I have a rp8420 with HPUX11.11. I see it has a DNS server configured in /etc/resolv.conf but I think it is not using it as the nsswitch.conf us:
hosts: files [NOTFOUND=return UNAVAIL=continue] dns [NOTFOUND=return UNAVAIL=continue TRYAGAIN=return]
Am I right?
Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Is my hpux box using DNS server?
if it is using DNS first, why when I issue a nslookup machine.domain it answers:
*** Can't find server name for address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: Non-existent domain
I'm sure I introduces rightly the DNS server IP's and the machine I am asking for on the nslookup exists...

This is a standard response for either a simple or fully qualified name lookup that fails.

Re: Is my hpux box using DNS server?
Either the host name being looked up does not exist, or the server is not communicating correctly.
Based on your nsswitch.conf configuration and prior posts and the error message, I'd say you are using a DNS server and its not answering your query.
nslookup has an interactive mode that will let you look up a host name from any DNS server you choose.
If the HP DNS/BIND package is installed, you get dig which has more varied options for testing DNS environment, even if you never use it as a server. dig is standard on Linux.
