To enable DNS client functionality on iX/4.0 or later, all you need is to
either build the file RESLVCNF.NET.SYS or copy the file /etc/resolv.conf
from any unix machine.  The file contents and syntax are the same.
 
There's also a sample file RSLVSAMP.NET.SYS on your system - copying it
to RESLVCNF.NET.SYS and updating it to reflect your nameservers address
and domain will make it a working setup.
 
Have fun!
