What are you expecting it to be picked up by? No, really, as others commented, that's all it should take, so you've got something else going on. I'd suspect some sort of caching. In all my years I've never observed quite this.
there's also a DNS running on the box (same like on the windows computer)
I doubt that very much Linux is not Windows. Perhaps be more precise: which version of DNS are you running. For example, I'm running DNSMasq and the first things it does WHEN IT STARTS OR RESTARTS is read /etc/hosts. Any queries from programs that run though it before that -re-read might produce the phenomena you describe. So what DNS server (and cache) you are running and HOW IT IS CONFIGURED matters if we are to advise you. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
