Probably if you'll point to host2 in the /etc/resolv.conf on the h3 as being a DNS server , that will work ... Especially considering that "Hosts 1 and 2 run HPUX 9.04 and have everything set up" ;) Is DNS traffic allowed to cross the firewall ? If yes - I'm almost sure that H1 runs DNS for your zone , and you can point to it in your resol.conf from H3 > SY RK
