Hi, all. I've always assumed that there's a way to do transparent WINS-based hostname resolution, but I'm durned if I can figure out how. In other words, I imagine that you could just add another entry to /etc/resolv.conf (eg., "hosts: files dns wins") that would allow me to ping foo and have it attempt to resolve through each in turn. Does this exist, and I've just been missing it? Sure, I can do "nmblookup foo", but that's a bit more awkward... [Hmmm. Just did some Googling, and, indeed, found a sample resolv.conf with a wins entry -- but when I tried it, from a machine that does nmblookup with no problems, it failed. I dunno...]
