[nv-l] [Name Resolution] - Off Topic

["Davis, Donald" <donald.davis@firstcitizens.com>]

What is the best way to handle name resolution for Network devices?
1. Do you use /etc/hosts ?
    Do you have all router interfaces defined ?
    Is the order of these interfaces important in your environment?
2. Do you use DNS ?
    What platform do you use for DNS ? (AIX, Linux, Microsoft, etc)
    Do you have reverse records for all router interfaces
    Who maintains your DNS
    What tools do you use to maintain it ?
    Is your network equipment in different or the same zones as workstations?
3. Do you use both / neither ?
  
I am in search of some "best practice" advise.

Thanks,
Don Davis
