In a meeting today, the following questions came up about Domain Name Services
and I thought I would post to see if anyone could help:
 
How does one set up the HP3000 for Domain Name Services (DNS) so that a
non-HP machine (E.g., IBM MVS) on the same network can find the HP3000
via the node name?
 
Does the HOST file on the non-HP machine need to have the node name/IP
address cross reference or does there have to be a name resolver on the
non-HP machine that is configured to look to the HP3000 as a name
server?
 
In addition, does the non-HP machine need to be included in the HOST
file on the HP3000 in order for processes on the HP3000 to be able to
find the non-HP machine using the node name?
