here's my /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.155.1.44 gatekeeper.orgtek.com gatekeeper #Bind Nameserver
10.155.1.201 radius.orgtek.com radius #Bind Nameserver
10.155.1.5 otdx05.orgtek.com otdx05 #Bind Nameserver
10.155.1.6 otdx06.orgtek.com otdx06 #Bind Nameserver
10.155.1.45 otdx08.orgtek.com otdx08 #System name
here's my /etc/resolv.conf:
domain orgtek.com
nameserver 10.155.1.44
nameserver 10.155.1.5
10.155.1.44 in the internal "blue" side of my Altavista 97 firewall running
on DUnix 4.0B. When I sit on my DUnix 4.0D Alpha station and try to do an
nslookup on an internal host I get
*** Can't find server name for address 10.155.1.44: Non-existent host/domain
then it uses 10.155.1.5 for the resolution. I get the same thing if I try
to resolve an external host but 10.155.1.5 can't resolve the address, which
is to be expected.
A ping of 10.155.1.44 works and it resolves the name as well:

Why the nslookup error with 10.155.1.44?
