It's Hesiod library itself. All I want is to be able to let my Mexts query
the Hesiod records which servered by Sun.

Speaking to Sun, I have another question would like to ask. Here we are 
extensivly using Hesiod to server vaious network records. Things like passwd,
mail server, amd maps, etc. For the time being, we configured so that DNS
server answers both name queries as well as Hesiods'. Now, my question, is it 
possible to seperate regular DNS and Hesiod name server so that client can
query different server for different services? I have tried, for example, to
configurate client's conf/named.boot file, but it seems that Hesiod query also
be ignored. What do you do over MIT?

Thanks for your response on both preious and future ones.
