you have to configure the nameservers to query for nslookup to work, or it' possible that already configured nameservers are not reachable.
in the first case, edit /etc/inet resolv.conf so that it contains the ip addresses of your nameservers (those may be your company nameservers or public nameservers), like:
where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the ip address of the nameserver.
in the second case, it may be a networking issue or some issue with the configured nameservers.

Hi guys,
I'm back to get some help again :)

Hi,
I have a rather simple awk statement to perform an nslookup on a file (list of IPs). If the lookup yields a result, then it sends it to a file. If no result, there is no output. I've been trying to use !NR or !NF with an if statement to make the output state "NA" if there is no result,... (5 Replies)
