On my host I'm not sure why I'm able to ping "hostname.local" and get a reply from my local IP. For example, the hosts name in question is sager.mydomain.tld.
nslookup sager.mydomain.tld works as I'd expect. nslookup sager.local returns NXDOMAIN. I have my own DNS server and I don't have a .local zone defined anywhere that I'm aware of or could find tucked away. I don't have extra stuff in hosts: cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost I don't have a mailname file: cat /etc/mailname cat: /etc/mailname: No such file or directory and my hostname output looks correct: hostname -f sager.mydomain.tld Any ideas where hostname.local comes in? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
