Problem with "nslookup" on ULTRIX clients

	Hello,

		I have a bug with "nslookup".

		I changed my DNS (bind) server (edited "resolv.conf").
		"ping" and "nsquery" still work fine but "nslookup"
		does not work anymore.  I Get the following message
		where 192.26.211.164 is the new BIND server (192.26.211.119
		is the old) :

		# nslookup
		*** Can't find server name for address 192.26.211.164: Query refused
		*** Default servers are not available
		# 


		Using the SUN utility "snoop" on the new server shows that the ULTRIX
		client does not send anything to the server. All other clients (HP, SUN,
		Motorola/AIX) work fine, only ULTRIX ones cause problems.

		The funny thing is that if i use "nslookup" specifying the
		old server interactively and then use the "server" command
		to switch to the new one, it works fine :


		-> # nslookup - 192.26.211.119
		-> Default Server:  inrs-telecom.uquebec.ca
		-> Address:  192.26.211.119
		->  
		-> > server 192.26.211.164
		-> Default Server:  [192.26.211.164]
		-> Address:  192.26.211.164
		->  
		-> > www.sun.com
		-> Server:  [192.26.211.164]
		-> Address:  192.26.211.164
		->  
		-> Name:    www.sun.com.UQuebec.CA
		->  
		->  

		I did add an entry for all BIND servers in /etc/hosts to be on
		the safe side without any effect.

		Any help would be apreciated.

		Sylvain
