    Hmm. Why isn't "options rotate" like in Linux or Solaris implemented in AIX?
    Recently we had a problem with our Production Nameserver. All Solaris and Linux
    Boxes went fine, only AIX got into trouble resolving Names from the secondary
    Nameserver, waiting for timeout of the primary DNS.
