Please excuse my confusion.
lookup
This keyword is used by the library routines gethostbyname(3)
and gethostbyaddr(3). It specifies which databases should
be searched, and the order to do so. The legal space-separated
values are:
bind Use the Domain Name server by querying named(8).
file Search for entries in /etc/hosts.
yp Talk to the YP system if ypbind(8) is running.
If the lookup keyword is not used in the system's resolv.conf file
then the assumed order is bind file. Furthermore, if the
system's resolv.conf file does not exist, then the only
database used is file.
So, in OP's case, where there is no 'lookup' in resolv.conf,
the nameserver 192.168.1.1 is consulted first, right?
So, how does 192.168.1.1 resolve 'localhost'?
Also, how does resolv.conf look like when rl/iwi
is and is not configured? Are thedy dhcp-configured?
