Yes ... you must set up a DNS resolver file -- RESLVCNF.NET.SYS -- on each
HP 3000 system which will use DNS.   The file, RSLVSAMP.NET.SYS, is a
template file for RESLVCNF, and it contains sufficient comments to document
the proper file setup.

     Dear Gurus,

     One of our network communication experts posed the following
     question to me.  I have not a clue about the answer, I barely
     understand the question.  Any help anyone can give me would be
     greatly appreciated!

     Can the HP use an external  DNS Server to resolve IP addresses
     instead of having to add them into the host table on the system ?

     Thanks,
