I've noticed this before but not had a chance to check up on it:

Under solaris (dt, Sun IPX running 7.6R), hostinfo will sometimes fail
to find MX records that hostinfo on other platforms and even `host' on
the same machine:
  
  ; hostinfo sexware.com
  No address for 'sexware.com'.
  ; hostinfo -mx sexware.com
  No address for 'sexware.com'.
  ; host sexware.com
  sexware.com mail is handled by uucp1.netcom.com
  sexware.com mail is handled by uucp2.netcom.com
  sexware.com mail is handled by uucp3.netcom.com


Don't even ask why I was trying to look that up; go read
athena.forsale if you're really interested.
