We are bringing up a new Sun machine on the net, which means we have a
complicated mix of OS versions, GIS (nee YP), and nameserver.  We
noticed that ISIS doesn't recognize other sites unless they are
entered in the /etc/hosts file.  I am told by our sysadmin that under
nameservice, it shouldn't be necessary to update that file.  So now we
are not sure if we have set up nameserver wrong or if ISIS needs all
machine entries in hosts.
