Ping by hostname
Thanks for your comments funksen and bakunin
I have one question which files I need to check por to see "If the system is configured to try using a nameserver"
I add the line hosts=local4 in the /etc/hosts.
And I dont use ldap or nis name resolution but in my file /etc/netsvc.conf I have this hosts=bind4,local
I have to put the dns on the /etc/resolv.conf because If I dont do this, when I try to login takes some time (like a minute) to let me in the server. but this dns not are own
Thanks for your tips again

desproxy-dns
desproxy-dns(1) User Commands desproxy-dns(1)
NAME
desproxy-dns - DNS for dynamic connections
SYNOPSIS
desproxy-dns dns_server proxy_host proxy_port
OPTIONS
None
DESCRIPTION
If you have direct DNS access then you don't need to do anything else. You know you have direct DNS access if you can resolve host names
to IP addresses.
NOTE: as desproxy-dns listens in port 53 (which is less than 1024) you may need administrator privileges to exec desproxy-dns (in fact if
you are running UN*X, you actually have to run desproxy-dns as root).
OK, so you have a dns server accessible now. But your computer doesn't know anything about that. You must configure your network
accordingly (again, need to be root in UN*X).
Edit /etc/resolv.conf and add the line "nameserver 127.0.0.1". You don't have to restart anything. Just test ping and see if it works.
ENVIRONMENT
None.
FILES
None.
