hi,
i would also like to ask, in my truss output, it tries to read
xstat(2, "/etc/resolv.conf", 0x080472F8) = 0
the /etc/resolv.conf file. I notice in this file, there is a:

Code:
search mydomain.com
nameserver 172.x.x.x

I am suspecting is it because its querying a dns server and getting slow reply back? As far as i know, my machine is not configured at nameserver 172.x.x.x

How does /etc/resolv.conf work? Does Solaris use this file by default when querying Dns? or does it use /etc/hosts first?

thanks
