[lug] Linux NFS server, Solaris client

[Michael Belanger]

This is very annoying.. If I add the two Sun machines to /etc/hosts on 
the nfs server everything works.

WHY!!!! Why can't they just RESOLVE like on all the other machines?  Is 
it a DHCP thing?  (if so, why only the sun's? All our systems are dhcp'd).

argh.
