I am not aware of any current project in HP to put a DNS Server on the
3000.  If this is a high want/need I would suggest your approaching this
with HP from (2) directions....
 
  1. Each customer who wants this functionality should contact the
     Response Center and request a *new* SR be submitted on their
     behalf requesting this functionality.
 
  2. At the next HP3000 Users conference, identify this request as a
     high want and get it on the top 10 list...  Much like was accomplished
     with TELNET INETD & NETWORK PRINTING.
 
OH, BTW a version of 'nslookup' is being sent out with the current beta
test patch NSSED78 for 5.0, it can be found in the group NSRV0000.TELESUP
NSLOOKUP (prog) & NSLOOKS (source) thanks to Eero...
