Dear opensuse users, I'm running the latest opensuse leap 15.1 just today I ran into a situation where I needed to point a domain to a specific IP adress. If I'm on my windows client I just update the hosts file 112.202.123.179 somedomain.com copy that file to /windows/system32/drivers/etc open a terminal and run 'ipconfig /flushdns' and voila ... whatever way I try to access the domain, e.g. do a ping or visit the domain in a web browser it points to the IP adress defined in the hosts file. How can I do this on an opensuse box? there's also a /etc/hosts file but it doesn't seem to get picked up? there's also a DNS running on the box (same like on the windows computer) but I just want this specific domain to have a specific static IP address I've already looked into /etc/hosts.conf ... /etc/resolver.conf ... /etc/nsswitch.conf ... or whatsoever ... Still without any luck at all ;) Is it really that difficult? I'm more that grateful for any insight. thanks & greetings Becki -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
