3895.0. "IP and backtranslation" by MEO78A::BARNHOORN (Barney to his friends) Tue Mar 04 1997 01:31


  How does an IP address get converted in a synonym address.

  The customer I am working with has nodes in different parts of the dns/bind
tree.  Either in: *.smkts.colesmyer.com.au
                  *.colesmyer.com.au
                  *.coles.com.au

The nodes that are in the .smkts.colesmyer.com.au tree get translated correctly
but those that are in the other parts donot. Failed to backtranslation message.

Below is a part of the CDI$trace from hocd05 and other details


  Can any one help? or make suggestions  (renaming nodes is not an option)

  Thanks  Mark

doing a 
$ucx  show hosts 
(on another node to hocd05&hosn2 as hocd05 is using multinet and I donot
know the commands to give an address to get the name).

on HOCD05  multinet nsl lookup for hosn02.colesmyer.com.au

gives the correct address of 157.155.84.9
