I have a lan here at home with 3 computers on it:
mach1.log.cabin = 192.168.1.40
mach2.log.cabin = 192.168.1.41 and 192.168.2.1
mach3.log.cabin = 192.168.2.2
(mach2 serves as a router between the two LANs so that I don't need a
hub. :) mach1 is a gateway to the 'Net and runs named.
Running the host command on any machine to lookup any other works
with no delay. E.g.,
[ben@mach1 ben]$ host mach3
However, running
[ben@mach1 ben]$ dig mach3
delays for a while and returns
; <<>> DiG 9.1.0 <<>> mach3
;; global options: printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
But specifying "dig mach3.log.cabin" returns immediately with the DNS
RR's. This is true when running dig on any machine, looking up any
other (on the local net).
It's especially annoying because telnet and ssh take a long time to
connect unless you give them the FQDN. Another odd thing is that the
problem disappears when I'm connected to my ISP. Does anyone have any
idea what's going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've
attached the relavant files as opposed to including them in the
message due to the number of them. Also, /etc/resolv.conf,
/etc/hosts, and /etc/host.conf look pretty much the same on all
machines, so I've only included them from mach1. Keep in mind that
the problem exists on mach1, too. (And it's running the nameserver!)
Thanks,
Ben
