- host is not using the system resolver but contacting name servers directly.
- You may want to use ping to check it, instead.

That's what exactly what I tried before. Does not work either :-(

It does not work either because with this configuration only the last domain
is searched for (aka iut-info.univ-lille1.fr) and am unable to find host in
domain univ-lille1.fr.

The man page of resolv.conf says there may be only on search line containing
only 6 domains and which must not be longer than 256 characters. 

My configuration respect exactly that, but it does not work.

I would like to have a look at the code just in order to understand how is the
job done ? Did someone know in where the code of the resolver is situated :
glibc (maybe get_host_by_name) ?

Did you simply try dig, instead of host ?

Problem with resolv.conf and search list

2001-09-15 Thread Bruno BEAUFILS 

There is something I do not understand about resolving hostnames. It seems the
search primitive of resolv.conf does not work properly in sid, nor in woody.

Let's see some of my configuration files :

 resolv.conf
search lifl.fr univ-lille1.fr iut-info.univ-lille1.fr
nameserver 134.206.10.18
nameserver 134.206.1.4
nameserver 134.206.1.15
-

 host.conf
order hosts,bind
multi on
-

Then I know a host which is called sole.iut-info.univ-lille1.fr and want to be
able to call it by its short name sole. 

The resolver is unable to find it. Let's see it with an example :

{watney-root-/etc}# host sole
sole.lifl.fr does not exist (Authoritative answer)

{watney-root-/etc}# host sole.iut-info.univ-lille1.fr
sole.iut-info.univ-lille1.frA   134.206.40.114

Why did the resolver stop searching after the first search entry (not trying
univ-lille1.fr and so on) ?

Did I miss something or is it a bug ?
