I can ping all my nameservers by IP, have the same stanza's in /etc/resolv.conf as I've used for years, but the new 4.2 box refuses to resolv by name. If I add the IP/name in /etc/hosts then of course I can ping by name. I went into /etc/host.conf and commented out the [host] line and then cannot ping anything. Does the new IPFW options in the kernel blow away something that used to work by default ?
