nameserver 192.0.2.100
Where, 192.0.2.100 is a valid DNS server address in your network and
ns1.domainserver.com is the domain server in your network.
2 Verify the order configuration. /etc/nsswitch.conf controls the name
service order. In some configurations, the NIS can cause issues with Oracle
SCAN address resolution. It is recommended that you place the NIS entry
at the end of the search list and place the dns entry first. For example,
hosts: dns files nis
Once you have modified the /etc/nsswitch.conf , restart the nscd service by
issuing the command:
# /sbin/service nscd restart
