TCP/IP (UCX) DNS and BIND_NOSERVNAM?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I want to use UCX and to configure it using DNS from microsoft (on NT) as
bind resolver. It is working but when I do a:
UCX SHOW HOST I get the next response:
UCX> sho hos
 
     LOCAL database
 
Host address    Host name
 
192.168.1.31    ALPHA1
192.168.1.33    ALPHA3
192.168.1.34    ALPHA4
127.0.0.1       LOCALHOST, localhost
192.168.1.37    alpha6, ALPHA6
%UCX-W-BIND_NOSERVNAM, Server with address 192.168.1.41 is not responding
%UCX-W-BIND_NOSERVNAM, Server with address 192.168.1.46 is not responding
%UCX-W-NORECORD, Information not found
-UCX-E-BIND_READERR, Error reading/interpreting query response

The Answer is :

 
  It would appear that the Microsoft DNS server does not support an
  inverse query operation.  This is likely harmless, if you need the
  list of hosts use the ucx$nslookup tool.
 
  If you wish to pursue this, please contact the customer support
  center -- expect to be asked the version of TCP/IP Services for
  OpenVMS (UCX), and what ECO kit has been applied.  Also check with
  Microsoft, to see if they have plans to add support for inverse
  query operations in the Windows NT DNS server.
