hmmmmm. This is very interesting.
Trying that yesterday would result in :
"... can't find production: Non-existent host/domain"
But today, I get a response?!?
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
What is going on here?!? Does nslookup use /etc/hosts or does it go straight to
bind?
Why would "localhost" suddenly appear as a DNS entry? Did the DNS administrator
add this entry manually possibly? It seems wrong that "localhost" would be an
entry at all. I am very confused!
The reason I brought this question to the java users is because all of my
"non-java" programs that try to use "localhost" or "production" work just fine
(ie ping, netscape, ftp, etc...) I can even add an entry to /etc/hosts and they
get picked up immediately.
