[cfgeeks] ipnodes

[Liston Bias]

Does anyone use ipnodes in /etc/nsswitch.conf on solaris?

I know to rename anything in /etc/inet/ipnodes when host ip changes, but 
just use host for everything else.

I recently upgrade to Sol 10 11/06 form prior Sol 10, I noticed they added 
dns to search past for ipnotes in /etc/nsswitch.conf.

This seems to have caused extra delay for host-based authentication where 
there is no DNS entry for source server.  I reverted back to files only 
and it seems fine, but wonder if anyone using dns for ipnodes?

Cheers,
