I started trying to ping the other servers in cygwin's bash terminal
but the host couldn't be found, nslookup had similar problems.
I had a similar problem a few years ago. The problem was one of:
- Windows not properly appending the domain name to a plain host name
(i.e. a non-FQDN)
- the Windows DNS cache
(see ipconfig /flush or similar)
- misunderstanding that ping is different from nslookup/host/dig
(ping uses the entire name resolution service which may include
%windir%/system32/drivers/etc/hosts and others whereas nslookup
uses only strictly DNS)
