Would your FreeBSD machine be NIS bound to a server that does
forwarding of name resolution requests to DNS like most Suns do ?
Would you use NIS before DNS in host name resolution ?
I get that message when my FreeBSD box either tries to resolve a
non-existing host hame (because, I guess, it goes up to the DNS root
servers and this takes too long) of when the DNS server on our LAN has
problems (down, can't talk to upper level server(s) etc.)

I've RTFMed. It says: "Refer to your system administrator"
But... I *am* the system administrator :-]
