In ULTRIX 4.1, when I query the name server with nslookup, I get multiple
identical answers, for example:

> ls siemens.com 
[localhost.zfe.siemens.com]
Host or domain name            Internet address              
 siemens                        server = ztivax.zfe.siemens.com        
 ztivax                         146.180.10.3
 ztivax                         146.180.10.3

In ULTRIX 3.1 the answers of the name server seemed to be o.k., the
configuration files were not changed between the two versions.

I remember this was asked before about ULTRIX 4.0, but cannot find
a saved copy. Is there a kind soul somewhere, who is willing to mail
me any help for this problem???

(Please note, that this name server is without external connection, so
you cannot query it!)
