The two common ways for modfying search order is to use either the environment NSORDER or an entry in /etc/netsvc.conf.

e.g., I usually set
hosts=local4,bind4

in /etc/netsvc.conf

the 4 specifies to only check for IP4 addresses resolution, a 6 would search only IP6, and no number searches IP4 then IP6 space.

If nothing is set, the default is equivalent to
hosts=bind,nis,local (or maybe it is nis,bind,local I have not even tried to use nis in 15 to 20 years - so I forget ;-| )

Having bind first - when a default is defined, but network is not working - can slow a reboot a long time. Setting the timeout and retry in either /etc/environment via environment variables, or in /etc/resolv.conf - can shorten this drastically.

While I have never used it myself - I expect that any bind/dns setting you can use on a POSIX system, such as Solaris - should work in the same way on AIX.

NFSMOUNT.CONF(5)						File Formats Manual						  NFSMOUNT.CONF(5)

NAME
nfsmount.conf - Configuration file for NFS mounts SYNOPSIS
Configuration file for NFS mounts that allows options to be set globally, per server or per mount point. DESCRIPTION
The configuration file is made up of multiple sections followed by variables associated with that section. A section is defined by a string enclosed by [ and ] branches. Variables are assignment statements that assign values to particular variables using the = operator, as in Proto=Tcp. Sections are broken up into three basic categories: Global options, Server options and Mount Point options. [ NFSMount_Global_Options ] - This statically named section defines all of the global mount options that can be applied to every NFS mount. [ Server "Server_Name" ] - This section defines all the mount options that should be used on mounts to a particular NFS server. The "Server_Name" strings needs to be surrounded by '"' and be an exact match of the server name used in the mount command. [ MountPoint "Mount_Point" ] - This section defines all the mount options that should be used on a particular mount point. The "Mount_Point" string needs to be surrounded by '"' and be an exact match of the mount point used in the mount command. EXAMPLES
These are some example lines of how sections and variables are defined in the configuration file. [ NFSMount_Global_Options ] Proto=Tcp The TCP protocol will be used on every NFS mount. [ Server "nfsserver.foo.com" ] rsize=32k wsize=32k A 33k (32768 bytes) block size will be used as the read and write size on all mounts to the 'nfsserver.foo.com' server. [ MountPoint "/export/home" ] Background=True All mounts to the '/export/home' export will be performed in the background (i.e. done asynchronously). FILES
