Make sure DNS is listed as a source for host resolution. 'nslookup' will always do DNS lookups using the config info in /etc/resolv.conf. The System (ssh, telnet, ping, http://, etc) however always looks at /etc/resolv.conf to figure out what name service to use. If DNS is not listed, then it won't look to /etc/resolv.conf, and won't use DNS at all. Another tool to test this is 'getent hosts <hostname>' This is like 'nslookup' but pays attention to /etc/nsswitch.conf. -Kyle > > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > networking-discuss mailing list > [email protected] > _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
