Jim,

We are currently converting all of our printers and outqs to DNS names
when a new change is required.

With things moving and changing so quickly, DNS is much easier to
manage.

The only gotcha I have had is when you try to reconfig the printer and
the DNS change has not replicated through. It may take time if you
cannot convince your network people to force the replication.

Subject: use dns for network printers

I have a request to switch from fixed ip addresses in *lan printer
definitions to dns names. DNS is handled within the network, but not the
iSeries DNS. 50 locations around the world and iSeries in a bunker site
(and dns servers in another site).
Currently iSeries Access clients use dns name for system.
All the printers have unique names.
Why not..
Any known problems?
