$ host -t AFSDB -l cbs.mpg.de cbs.mpg.de. AFSDB 1 afsdb1.cbs.mpg.de. cbs.mpg.de. AFSDB 1 afsdb2.cbs.mpg.de. cbs.mpg.de. AFSDB 1 afsdb3.cbs.mpg.de. cbs.mpg.de. AFSDB 1 afsdb4.cbs.mpg.de. cbs.mpg.de. AFSDB 1 afsdb5.cbs.mpg.de. $ host afsdb1 afsdb1.cbs.mpg.de CNAME dresden.cbs.mpg.de dresden.cbs.mpg.de A 10.0.181.11 It's working here - all AFSDBs are CNAMEs. are you using a single-component-cellname (foobar) and not a multi-component one (foo.bar) ? There's a bug in recent glibc which makes using AFSDB-DNS-records impossible for "dotless" cells - at least without a patch applied to the openafs-source.
