Respects as in uses if the FFagent is configured, or just picks up
automatically?

Most processes pick it up straight away, eg: traceroute, ping etc. nslookup
does its own thing so I know that won't work. what I need is lookupd to use
the values in /etc/hosts before DNS. which according to lookupd
-configuration it is doing for all except Global Configuration:

[jk:~] jk% lookupd -configuration

ConfigSource: default
LookupOrder: Cache NI DS
MaxIdleServers: 4
MaxIdleThreads: 2
MaxThreads: 64
TimeToLive: 43200
Timeout: 30
ValidateCache: YES
ValidationLatency: 15
_config_name: Global Configuration

LookupOrder: Cache FF DNS NI DS
_config_name: Host Configuration


I expected that having Host Configuration order in lookupd correct would do
the job... it seems not.

has anyone successfully changed the agent order in lookupd and knows the
easiest method?

thanks,

justin.
