SET NAME_SERVICE
SET NAME_SERVICE
Configures the BIND resolver and designates a BIND server. By default, all
settings are process specific.
• To make modifications that are systemwide, use the /SYSTEM qualifier.
• The local host’s domain is used as the default domain unless you also specify
/DOMAIN.
• To reload the BIND server databases, use the /INITIALIZE qualifier.
• /NOSERVER does not require any options.

Qualifiers
/CLUSTER=dev:[directory]
Optional.
Specifies the common BIND directory. By default, the clusterwide common
directory is common-disk:[TCPIP$BIND_COMMON]. This qualifier reloads the
BIND database on every master BIND server running in the OpenVMS Cluster.
This qualifier must be used with the /INITIALIZE qualifier.
/DISABLE
Optional.
Disables the BIND resolver. All name and address lookups are now directed to
the local hosts database. Use with /SYSTEM.
/DOMAIN=domain
/NODOMAIN=domain
Optional.
Defines the default domain. The default domain is appended to host name
references made from the local process.
