My guess is that these attempts to resolve these names and ip addresses is being done by my bind dns server and not by looking things up in the /etc/hosts file. But I don't understand why given that I am specifying that the order of lookup is to be done first via the /etc/hosts file and then by the bind dns server if the lookup in the hosts file fails. What am I missing and/or not understanding?
Thanks in advance for any guidance/clues as to why I am seeing these results.
I don't know, but I know that some commands ignore the hosts file; specifically the host command. I believe the ping command does honour it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
