RE: ip and dns.






Interesting! i don't know what am i missing here.
Environment: AIX 5.3
I get back the same error when I use -a with ping:
$ ping -a $$$$$$$$$$$$$
usage: ping [-dDLnqrRv] [-a address_family] [-c count] [-w timeout]
[-f | -i wait] [-I a.b.c.d] [-l preload] [-o interface]
[-p pattern] [-s packet_size] [-S IPv6_hostname_or_address]
[-T ttl] host [data size] [npackets]
