In this example, the slave server uses the file db.div to store the database information. The slave
server uses this file as a backup file. When the slave server reboots, it reads the authoritative
data from the backup file, and later contacts the master server to verify the data. If the master
server contains new data, the slave server saves this new data in the backup file.
The format of the data files copied from the master server is described in “Configuring a Master
Name Server” (page 67).
Setting the Default Domain Name
You can initialize the default domain name either by specifying the domain name in the
/etc/resolv.conf file or by specifying the host name using the hostname command in the
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf file.
If you use an /etc/resolv.conf file on your host, configure the default domain name with
the search or domain keyword. See “Configuring the Resolver to Query a Remote Name Server”
(page 81).
If you do not use an /etc/resolv.conf file to configure the default domain name, follow
these steps:
1. Set the default domain name with the hostname command by appending the domain name
to the host name. For example, type the following at the HP-UX prompt to set the default
host name to indigo.div.inc.com:
