Re: /etc/hosts question ..
Hi,
Hope your meeting went well.
One other suggestion that I have seen help with
the DNS timing issue.
Make the host doing all the lookups (Omniback, etc.) a caching-only DNS server and have it point to itself.
Then you can reverse the order in nsswitch.conf
to be dns *then* files so that you get the most current info by default and only fall back on files if DNS goes away (which it shouldn't since you are running the caching server locally)
Hope this helps.
By the way, if other more-experienced HP folks have reasons why this is not a good idea, I would like to hear them!
Thanks,
Jim
