I am a newbie with a single ethernet lan on which is a NT 4 server
and a HPUX 10.20 server.
I am trying to set up sendmail, so that I can mail to and fro between
servers and make life easier (Amen!).
I have no primary or secondary dns server enabled, using a caching
only setup in the hope that the NT will serve names on the HP's
behalf. This ain't happening, and I am concerned that if I cant
resolve the domain name lookup, there is no point attempting to setup
sendmail.
DNS seems ok on the NT server with the following
Name Record type Data
mydomain.com SOA dell01.mydomain.com,
admin.mydomain.com
mydomain.com NS dell01.mydomain.com
mydomain.com WINS 121.123.212.130
hp01 A 121.123.212.131
dell01 A 121.123.212.130
nslookup fails like this....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# nslookup dell01
*** Can't find server name for address 121.123.212.130: Non-existent
domain
*** Default servers are not available
Default NIS Server: hp01
Address: 121.123.212.131
Trying NIS
Name: dell01
Address: 121.123.212.130
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally resolves via NIS.
Can't get the domain name to respond either. I understand that it
should resolve this from etc/hosts
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# nslookup mydomain.com
*** Can't find server name for address 121.123.212.130: Non-existent
domain
*** Default servers are not available
Default NIS Server: drmyhp01
Address: 121.123.212.131
Trying NIS
*** No address information is available for "mydomain"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have provided some output to assist.

Have I got it wrong conceptually? Any clues or suggestions would be
greatly appreciated
