-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I started seeing this a long time ago, but since it doesn't break anything (well, not really) I never got around to writing this email about it. I have a machine running 4.3-STABLE as of April 21 2001. When I do a DNS lookup on a host that does not exist, it postfixes my domain onto the lookup instead of saying Unknown host... At first, I thought there was a wildcard DNS entry for lucida.ca, but there isn't. This does not occur from any other machines on the LAN, all of which use the same nameservers. Example: matt[epsilon]:~% nslookup asdf.lucida.ca Server: epsilon.lucida.ca Address: 209.47.215.67 Name: asdf.lucida.ca.lucida.ca matt[epsilon]:~% nslookup asfdsaf.com Server: epsilon.lucida.ca Address: 209.47.215.67 Name: asfdsaf.com.lucida.ca matt[epsilon]:~% host thisdoesnotexist.com thisdoesnotexist.com.lucida.ca mail is handled (pri=20) by mail.uunet.ca oddly enough, if I directly specify worldcom's NS, it behaves right, so I thought it might be MY local NS that was screwy, but the other machins on the network that query against it behave fine! This is running BIND 8.2.3-REL, nothing in my configuration has changed in a long time. I do not host the lucida.ca DNS, that's handled by Worldcom. My /etc/resolve.conf looks like: domain lucida.ca # epsilon.lucida.ca nameserver 209.47.215.67 # cache01.ns.wcom.ca nameserver 142.77.2.4 # cache02.ns.wcom.ca nameserver 142.77.2.36 I'm very lost here, has anyone else seen this before? :) TIA, Matt * Matt Heckaman - mailto:matt@LUCIDA.CA http://www.lucida.ca/gpg * * GPG fingerprint - 53CA 8320 C8F6 32ED 9DDF 036E 3171 C093 4AD3 1364 * The Universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements: energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest. -- G'Kar, "Survivors" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: http://www.lucida.ca/gpg iD8DBQE7ZYYNMXHAk0rTE2QRAv6vAJ9TbuCqGNCVQWi2B1jRYlW3pAuaaQCdEj4i zXXmefD9hFlvQBSj4a5ATyU= =TxYs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
