    | 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

    Huh? What kind of domain is that? Not xyz.com, not abc.org, not
    mno.net, not even something.uucp ???

    | hsifs 192.168.1.15

    What is that line supposed to mean to the DNS resolver? It's hardly one
    of the proper directives for the resolv.conf file.

    | hostresorder local bind

    That's the sole correct line in your resolv.conf file.

    Any resolv.conf file needs a line or two of the type:

            nameserver www.xxx.yyy.zzz

    And I doubt that a namerserver situated at an unroutable IP number is of
    any use for reaching out to the rest of the world.
