- Hi Neters:
-
- How can I make the X-terminals recognice names in place of IP numbers
- as host-names, without running DNS (Domain Name Services or BIND)?..
-
- The stage:
- - Dozens of NCD Xterminals (17c and 19), booting from a
- SPARCStation 4/40 (IPC) called `vivaldi'.
- - We **don't** use DNS but NIS (Yellow Pages..).
-
- In the past these Xterminals recogniced names in place of IP addresses,
- `vivaldi' was a NIS Master server for it's own domain (called `facs') and we
- didn't use DNS.
-
- When `vivaldi' has become a Slave NIS server for other domain (`fibronics')
- and `facs' domain was removed.. the Xterminals didn't want to recognice names..
-
- Any hint?...
-
- Please reply via e-mail.. Thanks
