Ok - is name resoluution issue network issue or not? if it is, how can you answer anything without knowing, for example, of existing Windows DNS client with internal cache, and difference between 'ping' and 'nslookup' name resolution on Solaris? Is ARP problem - network one or not? if it is, how can you determine, what happen, if some crazy server became ARP proxy and sends wrong information to everyone? For tier-2 - I agree. For real tier-3 - I can not. Those friends, who are excellent network engineers (much better than me, with CCIE and other _really good_ experience), knows Windows and Unix on a very good level. (of course, if some HR asks them 'where is configuration file for SAMBA on Solaris - no one answer, but it does not mean that they do not know Solaris; and you can always met religious people 'my god is MS / my god is Linux'). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Weeks" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 15, 2004 1:32 PM Subject: Re: Platinum accounts for the Internet (was Re: who offers cheap (personal) 1U colo?) > > > > On Mon, 15 Mar 2004, Alexei Roudnev wrote: > > : I expect, that good (tier-3, to say) network engineer MUST know Windows and > : Unix (== Linux, FreeBSD etc) on tear-2 (or better) level.
