I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who is running
NFS2.0 (SR10.1) AND using the DNS for host name lookup.

I find that any client trying to mount an Apollo filesystem
gets the cold shoulder. A message is put in the nfs log
file to the effect that mountd could not verify the client's
address. The curious thing is that the message actually says
"cilent's address not in /etc/host". Now, /etc/host I suppose
it's a typo for /etc/hosts, but the client sure is in /etc/hosts
(and in an /etc/host I made just to be safe). I am running
the DNS resolver though, and /etc/hosts should not be consulted
after boot time.

Any ideas ????
