I have cygwin installed on a VMWare VM running Windows 7 on a Mac
running OSX 10.6. I am unable to get name resolution to work with ssh.
The command ssh X returns the error "ssh: could not resolve hostname X:
Non-recoverable failure in name resolution." The command nslookup X
returns a valid IP address. I found the link below, and several others
that reference the problem, but no solution. Is there a solution to
this problem?

I do not have this problem with machines running XP either on VMs or
natively. I've created a partial workaround in my .bashrc file that
creates variables containing the IP addresses of the names I need to
resolve. This solution doesn't work with svn working copies if the
repository has a dynamic address because the IP address of the
repository at checkout will be coded in the .svn/entries file. If the
IP address of the svn server changes I'm won't be able to perform svn
operations.
