ping and telnet - HP-UX

Hi all,

I am not sure if my problem is specific to HP-UX or not. Hopefully someone can tell me what's wrong.

I have a server name server1 10.100.50.10 in the /etc/hosts file and if I do a ping server1, it shows the right IP address.

However, if I run telnet server1, it is not using 10.100.50.10 but the one that is on the DNS server. Can someone please advise if this is the "normal" or expected behavior of telnet? Is there something that I have to do to force telnet to resolve the name using the /etc/hosts file first instead of the DNS server?

FYI, I checked the /etc/nsswitch.conf and I do not have uncommented entries there which means it is not used. I have the /etc/resolv.conf file but I presume that the order of name resolution is the /etc/hosts first and then /etc/resolv.conf, is this a wrong assumption?

Any advise will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
