This method of name resolution - is operating system depended for instance on IRIX or Solaris this - may be controlled by the <filename moreinfo="none">/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> - file. Note that this method is used only if the NetBIOS name - type being queried is the 0x20 (server) name type or 0x1c (domain controllers). - The latter case is only useful for active directory domains and results in a DNS - query for the SRV RR entry matching _ldap._tcp.domain.</para> - </listitem> - - <listitem> - <para><constant>wins</constant> : Query a name with - the IP address listed in the <link linkend="WINSSERVER"><parameter moreinfo="none"> - wins server</parameter></link> parameter.
