Hello list, I have a server running bind that is master for 'domain.local'. When I try to use a FQDN from within an application on my debian etch 'desktop machine' (e.g. in a browser: http://host.domain.local/) it does not resolve / ask the DNS server for the address.
with the tool 'host' I can resolve queries just fine. e.g. for hostname 'svn' $ host svn or $ host svn.domain.local I get the correct answer and a request to the DNS server is made as I can see in the debug log there. $ ping svn succeeds, it obviously adds the domain as found in resolv.conf (search domain.local) to the host part while $ ping svn.domain.local fails. No query to the server is made, thus no address resolved, ping fails. IIRC it's been working fine until maybe about 1-2 months ago. I think I did an apt-get upgrade after which it stopped working, but I didn't notice right away and in the meantime I can't recall an exact date so I could maybe check the log file for what's exactly been upgraded - and might be at fault. A search on the web, list etc. didn't give me any clues either ... Does anyone have any idea about where I could look (man, url, ...) or what the problem might be?
