Invent3k runs a BIND caching name server and RESLVCNF has the invent3k IP
address in the first nameserver entry (followed by additional secondary
nameserver entries).

The BIND config is:

INVENT3K:/BINDFW/PUB/etc$ cat named.conf
options {
         directory "/BINDFW/PUB/etc";
         pid-file "/BINDFW/PUB/etc/named.pid";
         listen-on { 192.6.38.226; };
};

controls {
         inet 127.0.0.1 port 5555 allow { any; };
};

zone "." {
         type hint;
         file "zone.hint";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
         type master;
         file "zone.127.0.0";
};
INVENT3K:/BINDFW/PUB/etc$ cat zone.127.0.0
$TTL 86400
@       IN      SOA     localhost.      invent_e3000.hp.com.  (
                                 2001050400 ; Serial
                                 28800      ; Refresh
                                 14400      ; Retry
                                 3600000    ; Expire
                                 86400 )    ; Minimum
         IN      NS      localhost.

1       IN      PTR     localhost.

The only reason I'm bothering to run BIND on invent3k is that it is a
convenient test platform for when I build new versions of BIND.
