I cannot get my SCO server to properly resolve destinations for our EDI
sends. I get host name lookup failure unless I specify the same DNS
server that is already in resolv.conf. Can anybody give me a clue?

My resolv.conf is:

domain hsinj
hsifs 192.168.1.15
hostresorder local bind

Doing a DNS query:

# dnsquery -d www.ebay.com

;; res_querydomain(www.ebay.com, <Nil>, 1, 255)
;; res_query(www.ebay.com, 1, 255)
;; res_mkquery(0, www.ebay.com, 1, 255)
;; res_send()
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 47877
;; flags: rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; www.ebay.com, type = ANY, class = IN
;; Querying server (# 1) address = 0.0.0.0
res_send: send: Connection refused
;; res_query: send error
;; res_querydomain(www.ebay.com, hsinj, 1, 255)
;; res_query(www.ebay.com.hsinj, 1, 255)
;; res_mkquery(0, www.ebay.com.hsinj, 1, 255)
;; res_send()
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 47878
;; flags: rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; www.ebay.com.hsinj, type = ANY, class = IN
;; Querying server (# 1) address = 0.0.0.0
res_send: send: Connection refused
;; res_query: send error
Query failed (h_errno = 2) : Host name lookup failure

If I specify the DNS server on the command line:

dnsquery -d -n hsifs www.ebay.com

;; res_query(www.ebay.com, 1, 255)
;; res_mkquery(0, www.ebay.com, 1, 255)
;; res_send()
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 9502
;; flags: rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; www.ebay.com, type = ANY, class = IN
;; Querying server (# 1) address = 192.168.1.15
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 9502
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 4
