Creating the [RESOLVER] Section (optional, for
workstations only)
Each entry in the [RESOLVER] section gives the detailed information that a network
interface (NIF) needs to reach the remote host. Several alternative methods can be
supplied for a given system; in this case, the methods will be attempted in order from
left to right. The format of each particular method in a [RESOLVER] entry depends
upon the NIF that will process it; the specifics of these formats are described in the NIF
reference sections of this guide in these sections:
•
Section 7, Asynchronous Network Interface Configuration
•
Section 8, NetBIOS Network Interface Configuration
•
Section 9, TCP/IP Network Interface Configuration
•
Section 10, IPX/SPX Network Interface Configuration
The following is a sample [RESOLVER] section:
[RESOLVER]
hosta.mycompany.com=ip:10.0.0.1
hostb.mycompany.com=ip:10.0.0.2.5000
hostc.mycompany.com=comdevice:com1,comoptions:9600.8.1.n
hostd.mycompany.com=ip:*,comdevice=com1
A workstation configured this way will take special steps when contacting any of the
hosts listed:
For any host not listed in the [RESOLVER] section, the normal rules would be followed
(using the running NIF’s default rules for connecting).
Host How contacted
HOSTA TCP/IP at IP address 10.0.0.1 (using the NIF’s default service port).
HOSTB TCP/IP at IP address 10.0.0.2, using service port 5000.
HOSTC Asynchronous connection on COM1 (9600 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop, no parity).
HOSTD First try TCP/IP (using network name resolution); on failure, try
asynchronous connection on COM1 (using the NIF’s default settings).
