Thanks for this reminder, Robin. I have just retested the scenario I described
with my brick system, including the xnmsnmpconf -clearCache and still get the
same result. It is only DNS that really matters - the names in the seedfile
are irrelevant from the point of view of the exact typography that goes in the
database.
Cheers,
Jane
BTW - NT doesn't have the clearCache parameter or the
\usr\OV\conf\ovsnmp.conf_db directory
