something i also notice is that now, for the first time in the last 4 years, i can dial up with ppp on a client and use all my internet programs without any nameserver listed in /etc/resolv.conf! i'm not using ppp's msext's, and i can even kill named also, and have things run (on a client). regarding the problem below - why would telnet, FTP, and other Inet utilities resolve ppp aliased addresses just fine, while others like lynx and nslookup won't? aren't they all calling the resolver for their lookups? i still notice that the hosts file, for a probably related reason, is only used by the resolver when called by Telnet, FTP, Ping, and Traceroute, but not by nslookup and lynx. there's got to be some obvious problem here - ? i also notice tcpdump doesn't dump symbolic addresses (which i think is the default since there are switches to force numeric dumps) > > > > > 2.2.7-RELEASE > > > > > > > > > > ppp aliased IP addresses = 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.13 > > > > > > > > > > BSD1 <-> BSD2 <-> Internet > > > > > (ppp) (ppp -alias) > > > > > (.1-.12) (192.168.0.13) > > > > > > > > > > BSD1 machine can: > > > > > > > > > > ping 192.168.0.13 > > > > > telnet 192.168.0.13 > > > > > ftp 192.168.0.13 > > > > > traceroute 192.168.0.13 > > > > > > > > > > BSD1 machine CAN'T > > > > > > > > > > nslookup 192.168.0.13 > > > > > lynx 192.168.0.13 > > > > > > > > > > why? all internet functions work for BSD1 > > > > > (telnet, FTP, http, ping, etc ...) > > > > > > BSD2 resolves 192.168.0.X just fine. > > > BSD1's nameserver forwards to 192.168.0.13 > Just use a host address of .1 through .254 and this > problem (?) will disappear. this didn't do it.
