Can you identify what the names may map back to? Are they IP host names, NetBIOS computer names?
I know DB2 tries to do a reverse look-up when a remote I IP host when they connect to it. If so, could 2 of your LPAR's be using different DNS servers than the 3rd? Or maybe the hosts connecting to the one LPAR have PTR records while the hosts connecting to the other 2 LPAR's don't have PTR records. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
