You have been subscribed to a public bug:
ping: unknown host intermittent, will work by name sometimes but not
others. I don't have a dns lookup issue as other machines can ping at
all times. Ping will work fine for some time then will suddenly stop. A
few minutes later it will start working again at all times I am able to
ping via ip address.
I am using both avahi (for ios devices airplay) and ipv6 on this host.
My dns is being provided by a router via DHCP that is always able to
ping by hostname and never seems to have this issue, my windows machines
never have this problem, again they are being served via DHCP from the
same router. I am not sure how to find the root cause of this..
"Good result", ping working (removed few statistics lines)
