Hi,
Don't know if this is the most appropriate place to post this -
perhaps someone can point me in the right direction.
I use a .local domain for my local internal network and have a DNS
server which is authoritative for that domain. So other systems in my
building might be server1.homenet.local and server2.homenet.local.
These resolve to 192.168.0.x addresses. I've tested using dig.
But when I tries to use these hostnames in X11 on Mac they
consistently fail, telling me that they cannot be resolved to an IP
address. On further testing, ping will not resolve the address either -
though host and dig will quite happily return the correct values. So it
seems to be a much bigger problem than just X11.
My /etc/resolv.conf is set up correctly and name resolution from the
internet (using the same DNS server) works perfectly. The apple itself
is in the .homenet.local domain. All the other machines (Linux,
Windoze, Solaris) work perfectly happily using IP addresses or
hostnames, but the Apple refuses point blank to resolve hostnames to IP
addresses.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - even if it is a 'you should
post this to <some.other.mailing.list>' :-)
Best regards,
-->Gar
