Changing dns bind resolvers in tcpip

[Mike Smith_33]

I am looking to change dns bind resolvers on a 7.3-2 system running tcpip 5.4 ECO 1. Can this be done on the fly? When I tried it before the from the tcpip$config utility and then checked with a $tcpip sho name it seems as if it is not really taking effect.

Anyone out there up on the steps to "properly" do this in a supported way.

Hi

I think You did not use the /system Qualifier

$ TCPIP set name/server=(1.2.3.4, 2.3.4.5)/system

does the change in the volatile database

$ TCPIP set config name /server=(1.2.3.4)

does it permanent

and
$ TCPIP set name/noserver=(4.5.6.7)/system
to remove the old one

Mike,

you can add

/INITIALIZE qualifier to reload the BIND SERVER database and

/TRANSPORT = TCP or UDP

/ENABLE - enables BIND reslover

These are all not done by default.

Ian/Heinz: Does it necessary to do any manual changes in TCPIP$BIND.CONF file?

I am going to run these commands through a test box here but all seemed more than reasonable responses to the question.

Exactly - trust but verify.
