The local domain is specified in the resolv.conf file. In IRIX, the file
belongs in /usr/etc. Other BSD-derived systems usually place it in /etc.
Joe had it in /etc.

Edit /etc/init.d/network script and move the named startup before the
NFS startup. (This change will be made for the next major release
after IRIX 3.2.) When installing a new release or update, your modified
network script will be renamed to network.O. You'll have to merge your
changes with the new version.
