Hello Managers,

I am looking for DNS search order on OSF environment. For example:
My computer's name is : alpha.sci.ege.edu.tr
when I type
telnet teleferik
it searches for teleferik.sci.ege.edu.tr and says host unknown. Because
domain name of teleferik is eng.ege.edu.tr.
I want our system to search for sci.ege.edu.tr
                                 eng.ege.edu.tr
                                   ..... etc.

I know that it is possible on Windows95 (DNS Search order). I wonder if I
can do the same thing on DU3.2c.

(I don't want to edit /etc/hosts file for all individual hosts)

Thanks in advance.
