Here's a tricky DNS issue I'm having: The machine name is hosting.example.com (IP: #.#.#.179)
From any other machine, i.e. my desktop, I can ping web1.example.com and get the correct IP address. (#.#.#.185) However, when I ssh into hosting (#.#.#.179) and ping web1.example.com it returns: [user@hosting home]# ping web1.example.com PING web1.example.com (#.#.#.179) from #.#.#.179 : 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from www.example.com (#.#.#.179): icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=605 usec Why did it turn hosting.example.com into www.example.com and why did web1.example.com resolve to #.#.#.179 instead of #.#.#.185? When I type hostname: [user@hosting home]# hostname hosting.example.com ideas? ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
