Technical data

SET CONFIGURATION NAME_SERVICE
/SERVER=host
/NOSERVER=host
Optional.
Host name or address of the BIND server or servers that the BIND resolver will
query.
To specify multiple hosts, list them by request preference. The resolver sends the
first lookup request to the first host on the list.
/NOSERVER removes hosts from the list.
If you define a server list and then issue another
SET CONFIGURATION NAME_SERVICE /SERVER command, TCP/IP Services
appends the new servers to the end of the list.
/TIMEOUT=seconds
Optional. Default: 4 seconds.
Timeout interval for the BIND resolver’s requests to a BIND server. Represents
the length of time to wait for a reply after each retry attempt.
The total timeout period will be:
timeout_value * retry_value * number_servers
/TRANSPORT=protocol
Optional. Default: UDP.
Protocol used for communicating with a BIND server. Specify one:
• UDP
• TCP
Examples
1.
TCPIP> SET CONFIGURATION NAME_SERVICE /SERVER=(PARROT,SORA,JACANA)
When TCP/IP Services starts, defines hosts PARROT, SORA, and JACANA as
BIND servers.
2.
TCPIP> SET CONFIGURATION NAME_SERVICE /SERVER=OSPREY -
_TCPIP> /PATH=(abc.dec.com,xyz.dec.com)
When TCP/IP Services starts, defines host OSPREY as the BIND server. The
BIND resolver searches the abc.dec.com domain first, and then searches the
xyz.dec.com domain.
