This sounds like a SUSE system. If it is SLES8, updating /etc/rc.config is not the way to make the change. Use YaST instead. If it is SLES7 (in which case _why_ are you running something that old?), make sure to run the SuSEconfig process after updating /etc/rc.config. In either case, you should see the update reflected in /etc/resolv.conf afterwards.

I figured after a ping to another server works ok I need to be able to use DNS for address resolution. I am able to ping my DNS server ok. However when I do an nslookup on the address it cannot find the server. Nslookup shows lpar4_linux for the server and 0.0.0.0 for the address. If I enter server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx pointing to the DNS server all queries work fine using nslookup. I thought I had figured out the problem when I added the dns ip address to /etc/rc.config in the NAMESERVER= parm and restarted linux. This did not fix the problem. I also have CREATE_RESOLVCONF=yes and SEARCHLIST set to our domain name. Any suggestions?
