resolver

[Michael C. B. Ashley]

I have the same problem as hubcap at hubcap.clemson.edu with the resolver
on a DS5000 running ULTRIX 4.0. The named daemon works fine, but ftp,
telnet, etc. don't ask it questions. I know about /etc/svc.conf, but it
doesn't help. I have tried setting

hosts=bind,local
networks=local,bind

and many different combinations, with no success. Note that one of the
man pages says that you should never use the order "bind,local" (as
recommended by Frederick Avolio), but rather "local,bind", what is going
on here? Is it possible that the hesiod additions are getting in the
way? Unfortunately, I don't have printed documentation yet so I don't
have access to the "Guide to the BIND/Hesiod Service" (incidentally, how
*do* you pronounce "Hesiod"?).
