If you have a list of domain names you'ld like to search through when resolving names ammend the first entry to: ipnet=amigo-net ip=192.168.1.0 dns=151.164.1.7 dns=151.164.1.8 ipgw=192.168.1.254 dnsdomain=x.y.z dnsdomain=a.b.c where x.y.z and a.b.c are domain suffixes. If you have domain names that these systems are reachable by add a dom=my.domain.name atribute value pair to the system entries where my.domain.name is the full domain name of the system. If you have a DHCP server on your net, you'ld get most of the entry for your system by cating /net/ndb which is a turd our ipconfig leaves around for other programs to use.
