RESLVCNF and HOSTS on the HP3000 are only used by the local HP3000 to enable
it to resolve DNS names.  They have nothing to do with making your HP3000's
DNS name visible to the outside world.  The only way to do that is to add the
necessary A, PTR, and maybe CNAME records to a DNS server.

How do your web clients access machines other than the HP3000?  By name or
IP address?  If these clients are MSWin machines, check your network config
to see whether or not DNS servers have been specified.  If so, those are the
servers that need to be aware of your HP3000.

If no DNS servers are specified, MSWin can use a local hosts file of
C:\WINDOWS\HOSTS.
