Perhaps this is totally normal behavior, in which case, I'm really curious why:
If I ping an IP with padded zeros in the last octet (eg, 192.168.1.001), the ping succeeds. If any other octet is padded (eg, 192.168.001.1), the ping treats the IP as a hostname and fails. It fails no matter how many octets are padded, or which ones (excepting the last octet by itself). I've noticed this behavior on RHEL6 and OSX (10.8). Any thoughts?
