You need to update and configure files /etc/resolv.conf & /etc/nsswitch.conf.

#Hi:

A discussion of how to setup DNS on HP-UX can be found in Chapter-3 ("Configuring and Administering the BIND Name Service") of "Installing and Administering Internet Services". A link to this is hre:

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90759/B2355-90759.html

Be sure to look at the manual pages for the following as you setup and debug your enviroment:

# man (1) nslookup # see especially the -policy option.
# man (1M) named
# man (4) nsswitch.conf
# man (4) resolver
# man (5) hostname

I would also do a search within this forum for keywords like 'DNS'. You should be well rewarded.

Hopefully this will get you started.
