.local dns

Hello all,

We (Carnegie Mellon) have re-ip'd all of our access points and wireless switches to use RFC 1918 addresses and have changed their dns domain from sw.cmu.net to sw.cmu.local

Now we are seeing the following:
[TITAN:~] phill% host mg-e-wl-a.sw.cmu.local
mg-e-wl-a.sw.cmu.local has address 172.18.65.152
[TITAN:~] phill% telnet mg-e-wl-a.sw.cmu.local
mg-e-wl-a.sw.cmu.local: No address associated with nodename

Looking into a packet dump while telnetting shows my machine trying to find the host via multicast dns.

Ideally there would be something like

/etc/hosts.conf
order bind,mdns,local

So, do I need to dig my hosts and telnet to them by IP?

Peter Hill
