Thanks for your help

Sorry about the .conf extension in the previous thread. &nbsp;Not thinking<br />
<br />
Anyway, I have the following hosts file:<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-27856132-1"># cat hosts
...
...
...
127.0.0.1               loopback localhost      # loopback (lo0) name/address
::1                     loopback localhost      # IPv6 loopback (lo0) name/address
10.14.52.224    lp2
#####10.14.52.223       wlpar1  lp2

10.14.10.10    localdomain.com</code></pre>
<br />
I have the following netsvc.conf file<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-27856132-2"># cat netsvc.conf
# IBM_PROLOG_BEGIN_TAG
...
...
...
# aliases = nis, files
#
hosts = local,bind4</code></pre>
<br />
And get the following from the lookup<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-27856132-3"># nslookup controller2
Server:         10.14.10.10
Address:        10.14.10.10#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   controller2.localdomain.com
Address: 98.124.199.1</code></pre>
<br />
<br />
I still do not know where I get the IP address of 98.124.199.1 from<br />
<br />
Does this make sense ?<br />
<br />
Thanks

AIX, netsvc.conf

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
