I recently ran into a situation where a single hostname was assigned three
different IP addresses for resolution. I understand that this is fine and
you can assign up to a certain number of IP addresses per hostname.
The first 2 IP addresses weren't "pingable" because these interfaces were
down, while the third was up and should have replied to a ping of the host
name. While trying to ping the assigned hostname, only the first IP address
in the list was attempted and hence no ping reply.
After changing the host table to contain only the working IP address, I
could ping the hostname. What gives? Any thoughts?
