Re: [nv-l] DNS Fully qualified names

[Leslie Clark <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

No. It will use the short name (up to
the first dot) for the label, but the Selection Name will be the resolved
name, whatever that is. The way to change this is to enter all names in
/etc/hosts. You should not do this if it is a very long list, as it becomes
a performance problem as well as an administrative burden. 

Cordially,

Subject	[nv-l] DNS Fully qualified names

Is there anywhere in NV to tell it to not use the suffix for fully qualified
names.  We check our /etc/hosts file first for a device if it is not
there, then we say go check the DNS server.  When it finds it in the
DNS server it uses the fully qualified name.  Anyway to suppress the
domain suffix in NV?
