This site has a user account with "zi-" name and complete address is http://zi-.deviantart.com . When I try resolves this address using nslookup (dig or host) is not a problem but when trying to open this address from any browser or execute the command ping for this host, I get the error "ping: cannot resolve zi-.deviantart.com: Unknown server error"
Nevertheless, if the address register in the /etc/hosts "199.15.160.42 zi-.deviantart.com" problem is solved. I think that the system does not properly handle dns names with a minus in front of the dot, since if the minus is between letters is not a problem. p.s. The problem was not detected in OS windows >_< >How-To-Repeat: make "ping zi-.deviantart.com" and get the error message >Fix: Is't very good idea but as temporally solution write string in the /etc/hosts file for each problematic address :( >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
