The four name service options (local, NIS, DNS server/client, and DNS client) work independently of each other.
The local name service component enables you to add or delete hosts and their respective addresses (edit the local host table).
The NIS component enables you to add/configure or delete the Netra server as an NIS client, NIS master server, or NIS slave server.
The DNS server component enables you to set up a DNS server. The various options are described in detail below.
The DNS client component enables you to configure the Netra server as a DNS client.
