Item Subject: Domain Name Services (DNS)
     I dunno if I'm right, but in order to make the 3000 a DNS, you'll need
     to get some source code for DNS (linux??) and compile it in the shell
     on the 3k. Technically speaking, that should work but I wouldn't put
     my money on it and I don't think hp will support that. It'd be much
     easier to get a unix box to do the name service.
 
     If you have a DNS, the HP3000's RESLVCNF.NET.SYS file would need to
     point to the IP address of this DNS. On other unix boxes, the file
     should be /etc/resolv.conf. I'm not too sure where that file would be
     on the IBM...
 
     hope that helps.

In a meeting today, the following questions came up about Domain Name Services
and I thought I would post to see if anyone could help:
 
How does one set up the HP3000 for Domain Name Services (DNS) so that a
non-HP machine (E.g., IBM MVS) on the same network can find the HP3000
via the node name?
 
Does the HOST file on the non-HP machine need to have the node name/IP
address cross reference or does there have to be a name resolver on the
non-HP machine that is configured to look to the HP3000 as a name
server?
 
In addition, does the non-HP machine need to be included in the HOST
file on the HP3000 in order for processes on the HP3000 to be able to
find the non-HP machine using the node name?
