    disable [node node-id] dns clerk

    This command stops the DECdns clerk on the specified node, causing
    all active communication with any DECdns server to be aborted and
    all client calls in progress to fail with an error. You can also
    enter this command through the dns$control utility. The clerk
    cache is copied to disk.  When this procedure has completed, the
    clerk's State attribute is set to off.

    You must have the NET$MANAGE rights identifier (OpenVMS systems)
    or superuser privileges (Tru64 Unix systems).

                                  NOTE

    If you are disabling a clerk on a node where a server is
    running, make sure you disable the server first.

    The following command halts the DECdns clerk running on node
    .mfg.miranda:
