hostname resolution

• What is it and why should

you care about it?

• Which hostname resolution

mechanisms are used in

your environment?

• Are the hostname

resolution servers

responding quickly to

requests?

• Do the servers return

accurate data?

At some point, nearly every component of NFS needs to resolve an IP address to a

hostname, or vice versa. It is therefore critical to familiarize yourself with the

hostname resolution mechanisms used in your NFS environment. Any servers

providing hostname resolution services should respond quickly to requests and

return accurate information.
