Hi Robin, I think I missed something when I posted the question. When query is made for short name, client does append the domainname (bimna.net) first time. When DNS server returns with NXDomain then client drops the domain name, and tries again. This is when the DNS server results "ServFail" and delays.
So my rephrased question is: Is there any way to instruct the client not to drop the domainname ? Windows client does not drop it.
hi gurus,
need to check other than the hosts file, what else i need to change after we have changed the domain name in our company. currently, we are using olddnsname.com and will change it to newdnsname.com. i am not sure where else in solaris i need to take a look.
please advise.

nslookup
nslookup(1M) System Administration Commands nslookup(1M)NAME
nslookup - query Internet name servers interactively
SYNOPSIS
nslookup [-option] [name | -] [server]
DESCRIPTION
The nslookup utility is a program to query Internet domain name servers. It has two modes: interactive and non-interactive. Interactive
mode allows the user to query name servers for information about various hosts and domains or to print a list of hosts in a domain. Non-
interactive mode is used to print just the name and requested information for a host or domain.
PARAMETERS
Interactive mode is entered in the following cases:
1. No arguments are given (the default name server is used).
2. The first argument is a hyphen (-) and the second argument is the host name or Internet address of a name server.
Non-interactive mode is used when the name or Internet address of the host to be looked up is given as the first argument. The optional
second argument specifies the host name or address of a name server.
Options can also be specified on the command line if they precede the arguments and are prefixed with a hyphen. For example, to change the
default query type to host information, and the initial timeout to 10 seconds, type:
nslookup -query=hinfo-timeout=10
INTERACTIVE COMMANDS
host [server] Look up information for host using the current default server or using server, if specified. If host is an Internet address
and the query type is A or PTR, the name of the host is returned. If host is a name and does not have a trailing period,
the search list is used to qualify the name. To look up a host not in the current domain, append a period to the name.
server domain Change the default server to domain; lserver uses the initial server to look up information about domain, while server uses
lserver domain the current default server. If an authoritative answer can't be found, the names of servers that might have the answer are
returned.
root Not implemented.
finger Not implemented.
ls Not implemented.
view Not implemented.
help Not implemented.
? Not implemented.
exit Exits the program.
set keyword[=value]
This command is used to change state information that affects the lookups. Valid keywords are:
all Prints the current values of the frequently used options to set. Information about the current default server and host
is also printed.
class=value Change the query class to one of:
IN the Internet class
CH the Chaos class
HS the Hesiod class
ANY wildcard
The class specifies the protocol group of the information. (Default = IN; abbreviation = cl)
[no]debug Turn debugging mode on. More information is printed about the packet sent to the server and the resulting answer.
(Default = nodebug; abbreviation = [no]deb)
[no]d2 Turn debugging mode on. A lot more information is printed about the packet sent to the server and the resulting answer.
(Default = nod2)
domain=name Sets the search list to name.
[no]search If the lookup request contains at least one period but doesn't end with a trailing period, append the domain names in
the domain search list to the request until an answer is received. (Default = search)
port=value Change the default TCP/UDP name server port to value. (Default = 53; abbreviation = po)
querytype=value Change the top of the information query. (Default = A; abbreviations = q, ty)
type=value
[no]recurse Tell the name server to query other servers if it does not have the information. (Default = recurse; abbreviation =
[no]rec)
retry=number Set the number of retries to number.
timeout=number Change the initial timeout interval for waiting for a reply to number seconds.
[no]vc Always use a virtual circuit when sending requests to the server. (Default = novc)
