I'm inserting an Amazon FireStick (Android-based) into my lan.
All SW firewall/routing/etc is done on a linux box for my LAN.
The FireStick needs to communicate with a server @ 10.1.1.101 on my lan.
The target's got fwd/reverse DNS setup,
host target.lan.loc
target.lan.loc has address 10.1.1.101
host 10.1.1.101
101.1.1.10.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer target.lan.loc.
It's pingable from any/all Linux boxes on my LAN.
On the FireStick it's pingable via IP,
$ ping 10.1.1.101
PING 10.1.1.101 (10.1.1.101) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.1.1.101: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=2.38 ms
64 bytes from 10.1.1.101: icmp_seq=2 ttl=63 time=77.2 ms
...
--- 10.1.1.101 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1001ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 2.387/39.836/77.286/37.450 ms
But NOT via its hostname, which DOES apparently resolve to the IP,
$ ping target.lan.loc
PING target.lan.loc (10.1.1.101) 56(84) bytes of data.
...
--- target.lan.loc ping statistics ---
9 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 8005ms
Logging & diags are a challenge on the Stick ... no root :-/
1st Q -- is there additional, explicit SW rule/config/helper/etc I need?
I _suspect_ this is NOT a firewall issue ...
