I've never heard of anything like this except on Windows. I want to override
DNS with a local entry in /etc/hosts, ping sees the override, telnet does
not.
ping testing.otherdomain.com:
PING testing.otherdomain.com (10.142.254.1) from 10.142.254.1 : 56(84) bytes
of
data.
64 bytes from shieldaig.wehave.net (10.142.254.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64
time=0.037 ms
telnet testing.otherdomain.com. 80:
Trying 65.95.86.XXX...
Connected to ...
lynx and konqueror also try to connect to the external IP (served from an
external DNS server) instead of the internal IP listed in /etc/hosts.
Mozilla connects to the entry listed in /etc/hosts as desired.
The machine is running Debian stable with lots of backports and outside
packages installed (mozilla, mysql, kde, etc). Still a virtually identical
Debian machine at my office is not having this issue.
Below are all of my config files that I think might be relevant, I can't see
any problem, can you?
Thanks!
