       host_aliases - Grid Engine host aliases file format

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       All Grid Engine components use a hostname resolving service provided by
       the communication library to identify hosts via a unique hostname.  The
       communication  library  itself  references standard UNIX directory ser-
       vices such as DNS, NIS and /etc/hosts to resolve  hostnames.   In  rare
       cases  these  standard services cannot be setup cleanly and Grid Engine
       communication daemons running on different hosts are unable to automat-
       ically  determine  a  unique hostname for one or all hosts which can be
       used on all hosts. In such situations a Grid Engine host  aliases  file
       can  be  used  to  provide the communication daemons with a private and
       consistent hostname resolution database.

       The location  for  the  host  aliases  file  is  _<_s_g_e___r_o_o_t_>_/_<_c_e_l_l_>_/_c_o_m_-
       _m_o_n_/_h_o_s_t___a_l_i_a_s_e_s_.

FFOORRMMAATT
       For  each  host  a  single line must be provided with a blank, comma or
       semicolon separated list  of  hostname  aliases.  The  first  alias  is
       defined to be the uunniiqquuee hostname which will be used by all Grid Engine
       components using the hostname aliasing  service  of  the  communication
       library.
