 All, we recently configured dns round-robin on a Windows server. On my
Solaris clients, we have set the resolv.conf and nsswitch.conf to use dns. DNS
works as it should.

When I use "nslookup" on the Solaris clients, it returns both ip addresses of
the database server. However, if I telnet or ping the server it only uses the
first ip address listed in the nslookup output.

I have modifed the /etc/nscd.conf file to remove caching for hosts. I also
modified /etc/default/nss and set SORT_ADDRS to false.

Thanks in advance,
