unix DSN lookup

1. get node name
    uname -n

2. get FQDN through DSN Server, by passing node name

3. if node name is configured as a FQDN, and DSN Server is down.
    the node name will be returned too.


4. nslookup can be used to check DSN Server result.

5. DSN server configure file is /etc/resolv.conf
