Greetings -
I have an 'ip=<ip> sys=foo' name in /lib/ndb/local that I use
for shorthand to save committing the ip to memory. I have
to access this ip via my net.alt inteface due to firewall
connection restrictions on the destination network. The
name resolution from local is failing. Is this a configuration
problem?
cpu% ssh root@/net/tcp!foo
ssh: dialing /net/tcp!aajjg: connection timed out
cpu% ssh root@/net.alt/tcp!foo
ssh: dialing /net.alt/tcp!foo: cs: can't translate address: dns: resource does not exist
cpu% ssh root@/net.alt/tcp!<ip address>
<success>
Cheers,
Sam

You need to put the definition of sys=foo in whichever /lib/ndb
file(s) you use on your /net.alt interface. You get the `connection
timed out' because names for /net are looked up in /lib/ndb/local and
whatever files it names. You get `can't translate address' because
names for /net.alt are looked up in other ndb files (conventionally,
/lib/ndb/external and whatever files it names).
