Thank you for your answer, but.. There was no file resolve.conf in /etc, so I created one with the following entries search mydomain.ch nameserver 164.128.36.34 nameserver 164.128.76.39
I did not mention an important fact: We are hosting Web server (apache) and mail server (exim), but the nameservers are external. After having created the resolve.conf file, I simply ifdown -a, then ifup -a to reset everything and tried a ping to www.ibm.com (we know for sure they are up...). Result: host unknown and no try to go to the Internet (I have a separate line and router for this test config) to lookup DNS. I am surely missing something somewhere. If you can give me a clue to "where to strat looking" I will be really pleased. Caracal - G.
