HP-UX DNS issue
Hi All,
I'm having some problems with our HP-UX environment. I'm running Oracle EBS on a HP-UX system, and whenever my primary dns server goes down some of my clients can no longer connect. Everything on my windows side continues to work, and clients can reach the internet and other services without a problem, so my best guess is that it is only a problem with my HP-UX system.
I have a secondary dns server defined so I'm not sure why it's not failing over? Is there a timeout issue, or something else I'm missig here? Please see below for how my conf files look like.
resolve.conf
domain domain.local
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 192.168.1.2
nsswitch.conf
hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=continue] dns [NOTFOUND=return UNAVAIL=continue TRYAGAIN=return]

RESOLV.CONF(5) File Formats Manual RESOLV.CONF(5)
NAME
resolv.conf - Domain Name System resolver configuration
SYNOPSIS
/etc/resolv.conf
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/resolv.conf is used to configure how the host will use the Domain Name System to resolve hostnames to IP addresses. It may con-
tain these two lines:
nameserver IP-address
domain domain-name
The nameserver entry tells the IP address of the host to use for DNS queries. If it is set to 127.0.0.1 (which is the default) then the
local name daemon is used that may use the /etc/hosts database to translate host names. You normally only need a nameserver entry if the
name server is at the other side of a router. The default nonamed name server can't look beyond the local network.
The domain entry tells the default domain to use for unqualified hostnames. This entry is usually not given in which case the domain of
the local host is used.
The long version of this story can be found in resolver(5).
