For those who might be interested...

This is very Sun Solaris 10 and zones specific - It seems that when I
created my Solaris 10 zone, it defaulted to using as /etc/nsswitch.conf,
the template from nsswitch.nis, rather then using the nsswitch.dns
template (which the global zone is using!!). As soon as I switched to the
correct (I my case nsswitch.dns) nsswitch file, the errors went away.

I traced these message down to coming from the 'host.c' code, but I was
hoping maybe someone would recognize what is going on, before I had to dig
into the code. It obviously can do the reverse lookup, because it
translated 204.140.46.64 into hilla1pc46-064.ymp.gov, so why can't it do
the forward lookup??!!?? nslookup has no problems:

bash-3.00# nslookup 204.140.46.64 
Server:         192.168.10.2 
Address:        192.168.10.2#53 


64.46.140.204.in-addr.arpa      name = hilla1pc46-064.ymp.gov. 


bash-3.00# nslookup hilla1pc46-064.ymp.gov 
Server:         192.168.10.2 
Address:        192.168.10.2#53 


Name: hilla1pc46-064.ymp.gov
Address: 204.140.46.64

Any ideas anyone????

Thanks,

Dan
