How do I control how hostnames are resolved? From: Frank Kraemer


Information from AIX 4.1.2 Infoexplorer:

The default order can be overwritten by creating the configuration file,
/etc/netsvc.conf and specifying the desired order. Both the default and
/etc/netsvc.conf can be overwritten with the environment variable,
NSORDER. If either the /etc/netsvc.conf file or environment variable,
NSORDER are defined, then at least one value must be specified along with
the option.

examples:
echo hosts = local,nis,bind >/etc/netsvc.conf
NSORDER=local,bind; export NSORDER

[Editor's notice: As of AIX 4.3 you also have bind4 & bind8 (for IPv4 & IPv6)]
