It looks like something in the system changed between the time of
the implementation & tests in netconfig and the 11.1 release time.
It should be not needed to set any nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf:
From man resolv.conf(5):
nameserver Name server IP address
Internet address (in dot notation) of a name server that the
resolver should query. Up to MAXNS (currently 3, see
) name servers may be listed, one per keyword. If
there are multiple servers, the resolver library queries them in
the order listed. If no nameserver entries are present, the
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
default is to use the name server on the local machine. (The
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
algorithm used is to try a name server, and if the query times
out, try the next, until out of name servers, then repeat trying
all the name servers until a maximum number of retries are
made.)
In fact, not setting any, has had the advantage, that the resolver
was trying to reach the nameserver on local machine via IPv4 and
IPv6, so it was not needed to check if IPv6 is enabled or not or
limit it to use IPv4 only.
Because of this fact, we also don't set any in netconfig.
On my 11.0 and SLES-10 systems not settings any still works fine...
