DNS and FQDN resolution
« on: July 28, 2009, 07:41:55 pm »
I have a weird problem...

I setup a .local domain, like mydomain.local with host inside.

When I try to ping the FQDN, I dont have any ip address translation, if I ping the short name I get the IP.
Examples 1 (FQDN) :
$ ping prt1.mydomain.local
ping: unknown host prt1.mydomain.local

Examples 2 :
$ ping prt1
PING prt1.mydomain.local (172.16.125.10) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from prt1.mydomain.local (172.16.125.10): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=4.63 ms
64 bytes from prt1.mydomain.local (172.16.125.10): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.347 ms
^C
--- prt1.mydomain.local ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1003ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.347/2.491/4.636/2.145 ms

Examples 3 (dig with FQDN) :
$ dig prt1.mydomain.local

; <<>> DiG 9.5.0-P2 <<>> prt1.mydomain.local

My resolv.conf contain :
domain mydomain.local
search mydomain.local
nameserver 172.16.125.1

Other info : eBox v 1.2
Client machine : Linux

Thanks for your help.
