Hello 3000-l, et all,

>> In summary the existence of RESLVCNF disables lookup by HOST.

No, not true...

Here is the default operation with out NSSSWITCH:

- No Reslvcnf - "Host is used"
- Reslvcnf and DNS responds with a positive result - "Host is not used".
- Reslvcnf and DNS responds with a negative result - "Host is not used".
- Reslvcnf and DNS does not respond - "Host is used".

>> NSSWITCH may resolve this but currently going down path of adding the
>> entries in HOST to the DNS server held on PC out on network
>> which should address immediate needs.
>> Currently looking DNSCHECK file and will experiment with NSSWITCH.

in the case of:

- Reslvcnf and DNS responds with a negative result - "Host is not used".

NSSWITCH can be configured to change this behavior.
