   The manuals say that your hesiod server must have the alias "bindmaster"
as part of its /etc/hosts entry. I found that I had to place the alias last in
the list in order for hesupd to recognize it:

128.111.8.30	sbphy.physics.ucsb.edu sbphy bindmaster


   I got around the error you describe with the above solution.
