Hello,
I have an odd thing happening with DNS. When I do something like:
$ nslookup va.med.gov.
Server: 206.141.193.55
Address: 206.141.193.55#53
** server can't find va.med.gov: NXDOMAIN
Makes sense, right. But when I ping va.med.gov from the same server, it
seems to resolve to the public ip of the box Im pinging from.
# ping va.med.gov
PING mydomain.com (1.2.3.4) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from host.mydomain.com (1.2.3.4): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64
time=0.013 ms
--- mydomain.com ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2002ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.006/0.008/0.013/0.004 ms
1.2.3.4 is the public IP of the machine I'm pinging from. va.med.gov is
in no way affiliated with my domain.
/etc/resolv.conf looks like:
search mydomain.com
nameserver 4.2.2.2
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Any chance you have in your /etc/hosts file:
1.2.3.4 mydomain.com va.med.gov
Somewhere you have va.med.gov associated with your IP address, and this is the
only place I can think of. When I put va.med.gov in my /etc/hosts file, I get
the same behavior.
