Okay, I have changed to "jspeed.private" as my tld When I go "host -t soa private" I get:
chichi:~ harrisj$ host -t soa private Host private not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) chichi:~ harrisj$ When I go "host -s soa jspeed.private" I get: chichi:~ harrisj$ host -t soa jspeed.private jspeed.private has SOA record ns.jspeed.private. root.jspeed.private. 1269 10800 3600 604800 38400 Can someone who knows more about avahi comment? My understanding is that avahi uses .local as its tld So when it checks to see if there is already a .local soa on the network it is correct that it hasn't found one. There is a mydomain.local on the network, which shouldn't make a difference to avahi or any local dns server. Is my understanding of avahi correct? If so, this is probably a bug higher up in the chain rather than the ubuntu packaging. Probably needs to be reported if it hasn't already. -- problems resolving fully qualified domain names on Kubuntu feisty https://launchpad.net/bugs/80900 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
