Re: local domains always resolved through dialup interface
The network "inner-workings and hidden mechanisms <g>" in Debian isn't
any different from any other distros at this level of function. This
means that anything that worked in RH/SUSE for /etc/host.conf and
/etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf should work in Debian.
Are you using a local DNS server for name lookup or the /etc/hosts
file?? Maybe there is something wrong in /etc/hosts file causing local
name lookup to fail? If you try to use the FQDN instead of the aliases,
does it do the same?? Re-check this file and make sure all the lines
have the "right stuff" in them, i.e.:
IP FQDN Alias(es) <--note the need for white space between fields.
Also, make sure the localhost entry is in this file. There were a few
occasions a while back where this wan't being made during initial
config. Dunno if this has been fixed or not, but I havn't heard of any
probs recently.
Here is my /etc/hosts file FYI. You can safely ignore the IPV6 stuff.
Yours may look a bit different, depending on IF you used etherconf or
not..., and of course YOUR LAN names <g>.
