setting up a network install server

2007-12-25 1:32:00

I have followed the instructions in the Advanced installation guide to
create an 'install server' and have gotten to the point of adding a client,
but I
get this when I try to add a client

# ./add_install_client matorc sun4u
Error: Ethernet number for matorc.mathesoninc.com not found.

I am using DNS instead of NIS or any other name service, so I am not
sure why it is looking for an ethernet number or how I can satisfy that
request

nslookup is able to tell what matorc's ip address is
so I know dns is working fine

do I need to create an ethers file or what?

help..

thanks
