Re: V5R3 refuses to use Local HOST table first

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

from 5250 I did
ping rob and the address was 10.10.222.69
No host table entry on the i5 for that.
then I did a ping gdspc40 and the address was 10.10.222.191.  So I added a 
host table entry for rob to point to 10.10.222.191.  Then I did another 
ping rob and it immediately pinged 10.10.222.191.  Option 12 points to 
*local and it sure looks like it's doing that.

V5R3 refuses to use Local HOST table first






Anyone seeing this (on a V5R3 system at cumulative PTF level C4272530). 
Despite the fact the system is set up (CFGTCP #12) with *LOCAL in the Host 

Name Search Priority, it is waiting for a response from a DNS server (15 
to 30 seconds) before it looks up and resolves an entry from the local 
host table.  Easily tested by making a local host table entry for an IP 
address that isn't in the DNS servers and trying to ping it - it waits 15 
to 30 seconds before resolving it.
