I have 4 machines running debian, 3 of them all have the same domain name (nuthouse.org) now one of them is the main www.nuthouse.org, and the other 2 are just hosts.
On the nuthouse server when I ssh in from one of the other hosts, only the IP shows up in a w, yet it resolves fine in a nslookup. Then if I ssh into nuthouse from another box, the domain name of that box comes up fine. In case I am not making sense here: ÀÄ(~)> w 1:08pm up 10:40, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT keerf tty1 - 02:28am 44:36 0.15s 0.11s -su keerf pts/0 64.24.68.246 01:07pm 0.00s 0.04s 0.01s w -u Ä(~)> nslookup 64.24.68.246 Server: www.netlabs.net Address: 216.116.128.3 Name: straightjacket.nuthouse.org Address: 64.24.68.246 now thats all from the nuthouse server. I'm not running named, or bind or anything on it because my DNS is hosted through the ISP I work for. Could anyone offer some help or suggestions of what I might have done wrong or how I can fix it? Thanks for your time Terry
