How best to configure the /etc/netsvc.conf file, making it easier to troubleshoot when resolving DNS issues: This file should resolve locally and through DNS. The line would read:
hosts=local,bindYou then would need to make sure that all the local adapter IP addresses are entered in /etc/hosts. After that is complete, for every adapter on the system you would apply:
# hostThis will ensure a host command generates the same ouput (the hostname) with and without /etc/netsvc.conf. That way, you'll know you can continue to do certain things while troubleshooting a DNS problem.
