Subject:   Can't resolve localhost--redux
Message-ID:  <38DFAB59.B64E42C0@afccc.af.mil>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
It's been a week or so, so I'll repost some of my previous post on the
same subject. This is rather long--sorry.  I desparately need a ticket
to ride the cluetrain here!

Bottom line is I can't resolve localhost since I dorked around trying to
set up a caching nameserver--since turned off.  Setup is 3.4R,
standalone, dial-in to ISP.  Relevant config files follow.  Also at Ben
Smithurst's suggestion, I ran 'ktrace ping localhost'. Plus at the
bottom of this dump, I've also included the output of 'netstat -r' and
'ifconfig -a' if that helps.
