with so many people running ppp alias, i'd like to know if anyone DOES or DOESN'T have this problem. i'd like to know if i need to figure something out, or if it is a bug. i've had this problem for at least 1.5 years, and have never figured out a solution. i always wrote it off as a "bug" in the resolver. i have experienced some odd behavior relating to DNS & /etc/hosts resolving and remember many posts over the years relating to quirky behavior. > > > 2.2.7-RELEASE > > > > > > ppp aliased IP addresses = 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.12 > > > > > > BSD1 <-> BSD2 <-> Internet > > > (ppp) (ppp -alias) > > > (0.X) (192.168.0.0) > > > > > > BSD1 machine can: > > > > > > ping 192.168.0.0 > > > telnet 192.168.0.0 > > > ftp 192.168.0.0 > > > traceroute 192.168.0.0 > > > > > > BSD1 machine CAN'T > > > > > > nslookup 192.168.0.0 > > > lynx 192.168.0.0 > > > > > > 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 192.168.0.0 PS. someone mentioned that it is bad to use "X.X.X.0" as an IP, but i thought it was conventional to use that number for default gateways ...
