I have a domain, dlee.org, hosted by dns2go.com. Their policy is to make anything ending with dlee.org point to dlee.org, no matter how.many.levels.before.dlee.org. :-) Problem: When my local fbsd box, kirk.dlee.org, sends out a DNS query, it likes to try appending dlee.org to everything that fails. The result, because of the dns2go policy, is that everything succeeds, and points right back to me. This only happens when the request is started by a local app running on kirk, such as ping or nslookup; it does not seem to affect machines for which kirk provides NAT and internet gateway service. My immediate suspect, /etc/resolv.conf, comes up innocent: no "search" line. Any ideas? I sorta hope I'm missing something simple here... -- Doug Lee dgl@visi.com http://www.visi.com/~dgl Bartimaeus Group doug@bartsite.com http://www.bartsite.com "Liberty comes in boxes: ballot, jury, and ammo." -Anonymous To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
