Hi,

I think something's wrong with hostname resolving, at least on my
machine, but maybe it's a cooker thing.

I have the following configuration:

host.conf:
order hosts,bind
multi on

resolv.conf:
search lagerweij.com 
nameserver 194.109.6.66

hosts:
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.2             om.lagerweij.com om
192.168.1.1             ixolite.lagerweij.com ixolite
192.168.1.3             angua.lagerweij.com angua

Which should mean that a 'host om.lagerweij.com' resolves into
192.168.1.2, since this hostname is in the hosts file, and the hosts
file is the first in the 'order' in host.conf.
Instead it resolves into my external ip address, 213.84.161.99, which
one would expect if the lookup was done through the nameserver.
(the same is true for both angua and ixolite)

The reason I'm looking into this, btw, is that my machine seems to be
running a bit slower that I think is normal, and I heard gnome tends to
slowdown when there are lookup problems.

Any ideas?

Wouter
