solaris resolver question
2007-12-24 20:12:00
gurus. I need to know whether a solaris ping command is using
a "full service resolver" or a "stub resolver" as defined by
rfc1123. More importantly, what I need to know is ... when I
ping a host ... and use a local nameserver for name resolution ...
does the resolver, used by ping, cache the ip address/host info
that is returned from the nameserver? Or does the ping resolver
go to the nameserver each time it is used? Please no guesses on
this. It's important that I get only definite answers.
Thanks very much!
