Is configuring DNS in RHEL AS3 is good or not?
 

Friends,

OS: RHEL AS 3.0
DB: 9iR2

Currently our RHEL AS 3.0 is not configured with DNS.
I tried to get the ipaddress of the user using below query but its showing unknown host.

select utl_inaddr.get_host_address(terminal) ipaddr
from v$session

so, i have decided to configure the DNS in RHEL AS 3.0
but i want to know is there any draw back in setting up the DNS.

currently we dont have the DNS configuration.

thanks

what do you mean by "setting up" the dns? as a client or as a server? sounds like you just want client entires, in which case just add them to /etc/resolv.conf
