%TCPIP-E-NAMEERROR seen booting v9.2-2

[imiller]

$ ucx show version

VSI TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS x86_64 Version V6.0
on an innotek GmbH VirtualBox running OpenVMS V9.2-2

I've just noticed this error during booting

$ TCPIP SET NAME/SYSTEM/SERVER=GOOGLEDNS/DOMAIN="name.local"/ENABLE !
%TCPIP-E-NAMEERROR, error processing name service request
-TCPIP-E-BINDENABLE, BIND resolver is enabled

I noticed booting after installing the V9.2-2 UPDATE V1 kit but it did happen on the previous boot too.

   I have a real domain (antinode.info), and run a DNS server (BIND) for
it on my main VMS system, so my situation is different, and it's not
obvious to me that any such command is used here.  Do you know where
that one is?  (Someplace under SYS$STARTUP?  I saw nothing similar here
outside of SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$BINDSETUP.COM, which I wouldn't expect to
be run automatically.)

   "GOOGLEDNS" means approximately nothing to me.  Is it defined as a
(local) host?  (8.8.8.8?)

      tcpip show host GOOGLEDNS

      tcpip show name_service

I found the command
$ TCPIP SET NAME/SYSTEM/SERVER=GOOGLEDNS/DOMAIN="name.local"/ENABLE
being called from SYSTARTUP_VMS and am trying to work out why.

   Leave better notes for yourself when adding such things?  It could be
just my ignorance showing, but I see no reason for such a command in
SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM.  I'd expect the TCPIP NAME_SERVICE settings to
persist.

   Pending questions remain pending.

I've commented out the command with a note to myself.
googledns is a a defined host with address 8.8.8.8 and the name resolver has it defined as a server.
