Elisej Babenko I get the same problem with my laptop which uses DHCP in FreeBSD 6.2-RC1 and earlier was using 6.1-S, this happens to me regurarely even I just opened an address in FF, then again trying to open same host via FF. Is there away to cache dns locally in my laptop?

Re: What is the difference between "No address associated with name" and "Unknown host"
If you have the "dig" command available on your machine, you can read its documentation, and play with it. It will make things clear. Look below: in the first case, there is no A record, but there is a SOA record. However, the hostname of the SOA is different from the queried hostname. In the second case, there is no A record, there is a SOA and the hostname of the SOA and the queried hostname are the same. So in the first case, we cannot know if the host is registered at all. In the second case, the hostname is registered for sure, but it has no A record. (However, subdomains like www.eirtrade.ie can have A records...) #dig accounts.eirtrade.ie Sorry, try this with accounts.eirtrade.i instead of accounts.eirtrade.ie. :-) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Because the domain name server cannot be found, it is not possible to tell the IP address of the given hostname. You get the second message when there is a primary domain name server for the given domain, but it does not return any IP address for your (named) address. It means that there is no A record for the given hostname.
