USRobotics NETServer/8 - Manual (Page 29)

Basic Installation 2-13
Name Service
This is the server that translates your host names into their
corresponding IP addresses.. The NETServer supports two
types of name services

DNS and NIS. NIS is also sometimes
referred to as Yellow Pages (YP).
If you are using DNS, type
set namesvc DNS
Enter
If you are using NIS, type
set namesvc NIS
Enter
You must also identify the name server and domain name used
by the name service. The name server (the computer respond-
ing to name service queries) is indicated by its IP address. The
domain name is the domain that the NETServer belongs to.
Type the following lines. Follow each with the Enter key.
set nameserver <IP address>
set domain <domain name>
Note: The name server will only be consulted to resolve host
names not found in the hosts table. If you are using a name
service, the hosts table may be left empty.
