reassign 169098 bind9-host thanks
[root@foo /etc]# grep search resolv.conf search ytti.fi sn.net [root@foo /etc]# host irc irc.ytti.fi does not exist (Authoritative answer)
This is just host, which does it own resolver stuff. I thought it was documented somewhere, but I didn't see it in a quick glance of the host manpage.
Try ping. That'll work. [I use the bind9-host, which I know does this...]
