OSF1 GOAW26 V5.1 1885 alpha
There are 2 ALPHA servers with above OS.
ALPHA1:   ping works though there is no entry in /etc/hosts for the target host.
     # ping ztbn1070
     PING ztbn1070.emea.zf-world.com (10.23.15.245): 56 data bytes

ALPHA2: ping does not get an answer.
     # ping ztbn1070
     ping: unknown host ztbn1070
     # nslookup ztbn1070

I guess for ALPHA2 there is a problem with the name service. On both machines /etc/resolv.conf are identical.
What is wrong with ALPHA2 ?
