My guess at this configuration would be: /etc/resolv.conf: domain company.net nameserver 10.0.0.1 nameserver 10.12.1.2 But this results in opensuse.org being looked up, while intranet.company.net fails.
Another guess: /etc/resolv.conf domain company.net nameserver 10.12.1.2 nameserver 10.0.0.1 Which leads to intranet.company.net being looked up, while opensuse.org fails.
How on earth do i get around this, and why does it seem that both nameservers are not queried ?
Secondary name servers are ONLY queried if the first one FAILS or is not reachable. Its a misconception that secondaries will be checked if the primary can not come up with an IP for you.
Hi John, I see, this was what i thought happened, server 1 to fail if it could not look up the IP, therefore trying the next. Thanks for clearing that out. Are there any way I can get it query both, or alternatively use my 10.0.0.1 DNS, if it is not a company.net address ? I know from that-other-os(tm), it is possible, since it works when using VPN.
