You need a network description of the class A address
to define the submask to use with it. The value of
ipnet= is not realy important since it's not used to
look anything up.
I guess I should write a how to document for this
cruft.

Hello
I've installed plan 9 a week ago on a PC. I have just tried to
configure DNS on the machine. I've been having problems with it.
My /lib/ndb/local is as follows.
#
#
database=
file=/lib/ndb/local
file=/lib/ndb/common
ipnet=nexabit ip=10.0.100.0 ipmask=255.0.0.0
ipsubmask=255.255.254.0
dns=10.0.100.165
dnsdomain=nexabit.com
This is all there is in the /lib/ndb/local file.
My machine gets its IP address via a DHCP server. When I try to ping a
machine on our network using only it's name e.g.
term% ping charlotte
I get the error
"ping: couldn't dial: cs: dns: no transalation found(icmp!charlotte!1)"
However when I ping using the fully qualified domain name e.g.
term% ping charlotte.nexabit.com
it works well.
It looks like the DNS resolver is not using the suffix to translate
names.
Could somebody point out what could be the problem here. I have not
edited any other file in the system except the 'local' file.
Thanks
