Thiessen) Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga.datacomm Subject: AS225 name resolution question... Summary: what about hosts not in the inet: db/hosts file? Keywords: remote nameserver hosts telnet resolver Message-ID: <1991Jun27.193458.6799@agate.berkeley.edu> Date: 27 Jun 91 19:34:58 GMT Article-I.D.: agate.1991Jun27.193458.6799 Sender: usenet@agate.berkeley.edu (USENET Administrator) Organization: ucb Lines: 10 Is it possible to configure the AS225 software to ask a remote nameserver for information on resolving a hostname to a dotted quad? I'm using telnet to a fair number of remote sites, and don't particularly want to keep a many-hundred-line hosts file lying about. Any help would be greatly appreciated, either by mail or by posting. Thanks in advance. Karl Thiessen -- karlht@ocf.berkeley.edu -- in Columbus, OH for the summer
