Hi Jay,

I think you misunderstood me.  It doesn't surprise me that you're having trouble resolving this problem -- this software doesn't seem very user-friendly at all.

It does surprise me that you're using the host table, though. The host table is typically only used for testing one-off scenarios and for very small networks with very few hosts.   A larger network almost always has a DNS server because hosts are always changing so maintaining host files on every necessary system is unmanageable.

-SK

st definitions in the host tables on each individual computer/server is a huge amount of work.

SK… Does it also blow your mind that two other very veteran talented developers on the Linux and other aix/ibm i platforms don’t know how to resolve this either (including the guy who wrote the goLang)? We’ve spent hours trying different things including things already mentioned here.
It’s been handed to me… for some reason… like some kind of abandoned Frankenstein project.
