SUMMARY: Name resolution
2007-12-24 21:03:00
The nsswitch.conf file was set up to use dns.
The problem was either with nscd or the way the
resolv.conf file was set up.
This server is multihomed and on two different
networks and had one name server on one network and
another name server on the other network. From what I
have been told this can cause problems.
Thanks again for all the information.
Having a strange problem on one of my Solaris 8
servers. If I do an nslookup on a hostname, it
returns a valid IP address. However if I do a ping to
that same hostname it says unknown host.
Here is an example output:
uspl002:/etc/ > nslookup yahoo.com
Server: xxx.xxman.com
Address: 192.168.1.1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: yahoo.com
Addresses: 216.115.108.245, 216.115.108.243
uspl002:/etc/ > ping yahoo.com
ping: unknown host yahoo.com
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Duane Robertson
