Hi,
Just some simple questions based on the following:
1) nslookup www.freebsd.org
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: freefall.FreeBSD.org
Address: 204.216.27.18
Aliases: www.freebsd.org
2) nslookup freefall.cdrom.com
Name: freefall.cdrom.com
Addresses: 204.216.27.18, 204.216.27.18
Aliases: freefall.cdrom.com
3) nslookup 204.216.27.18
Name: freefall.FreeBSD.ORG
Address: 204.216.27.18
4) nslookup www.cdrom.com
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: wcarchive.cdrom.com
Address: 165.113.58.253
Aliases: www.cdrom.com
Is freebsd.org and cdrom.com the same machine with 2 NICs ?
Also, in 2) above, why is freefall.cdrom.com a name as well as
an alias at the same time, and it returns 2 same IP address for
it too, why is that ?
Is freefall.cdrom.com an alias from freebsd.org or is it
a proper name record in cdrom.com zone ? How are the above
configured in actuality ?
Thanks in advance.
