Technical data

SET NAME_SERVICE
/NODOMAIN deletes the process-specific definition of the domain. Do not use
with /SYSTEM.
/ENABLE
Optional. Default: Not enabled.
Enables the BIND resolver. Must be used with /SYSTEM.
/INITIALIZE
Optional. Default: No reloading.
Reloads all BIND server databases and the BIND configuration file. Either
TCPIP$ETC:RNDC.CONF or TCPIP$ETC:RNDC.KEY must be set up to allow
for secure communication between the user and the BIND server. For more
information, refer to the HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Management manual.
/PATH=domain
/NOPATH=domain
Optional.
Defines the BIND resolver’s domain search list.
To specify multiple domains, list them by search preference. The resolver starts
with the first domain on the list, and continues to search each domain until the
name is found or until all domains have been exhausted and the lookup fails.
/NOPATH removes domains from the list.
If you define a domain list and then issue another SET NAME_SERVICE /PATH
command, TCP/IP Services appends the new domains to the end of the list.
If no search list is defined, the default behavior of the BIND resolver is to do a
lookup on the name as you typed it. If that lookup fails, then the default domain
is appended and the lookup is attempted again.
/RETRY=number of retries
Optional. Default: four retries.
Specifies the number of times that the BIND resolver attempts to contact a BIND
server if previous tries fail.
/SERVER=host
/NOSERVER=host
Optional.
Specifies the host name or address of the BIND server or servers that the 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 NAME_SERVICE /SERVER command, TCP/IP Services appends the new
servers to the end of the list.
Do not use /NOSERVER with /SYSTEM.
/SYSTEM
Optional. Default: Changes are process specific.
