Hello,

I'm working on an LTSP diskless (cluster) config at the moment using the
LTSP 3.0.X distributions on top of Redhat 9. I have used a pure 2.4.20
kernel source however, which I need for the mosix clustering software.
After quite a bit of tweaking I finally got the client to boot up using
a ram disk and load it's root partition via NFS. However the client will
not perform DNS resolution; when I ping a host with it's DNS name it
returns the error e.g.,

ping: <hostname>: Resolver Error 0 (no error)

whereas if I ping the host's IP address it works happily away.

For some reason the /etc/hosts file the client reads seems to be
different from the one I export in the /opt/ltsp/i386/etc dir. Could
this be a factor? Incidentally the host that the client uses is not the
main DHCP or DNS server on our network.

I have looked up the net for help on this but answers seem to be
somewhat vague. I'm fairly stuck on this at the moment as I need it for
a project I'm working on. Can anyone on the list help? Respond privately
to me if needs me.

Many TIA, Mike.
