We found that disabling the Avahi daemon helped. The problem we found seems to lie in the fact that whenever we tried to do a lookup / ping for a host on the .local domain, the system would append .local to it again.
Therefore when we did: ping ourhost.companyname.local we actually got ping ourhost.companyname.local.companyname.local Just thought the info might help (it may already be posted but I didn't want to read through everything!) -- problems resolving fully qualified domain names in environments where .local is used as a TLD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/80900 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
