--nextPart1274573.tpl6FNyWsL Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Dear all, my testbed lacks of Ethernet Ports so one machine has no connection to my D= NS,=20 no problem, there is something called /etc/hosts I thought. It works if I ping 'hostname', but how can I find out the IP of 'hostname'= =20 from the command line? dig and host want to contact the DNS server, also=20 nslookup does, so I think I need a utility which uses the gethostbyname(3)= =20 function. Is there one? Unfortunately I can't write one myself, at least no= t=20 in a reasonable amount of time....
