Centos 6.4 64bit

I have just sent the details of strace and dig, in a separate mail
Frankly I do not know how to read the results.

dnstracer -v my-server.mydomain.com fails with, return code 3 (Name error)
dnstracer -v -q cname my-server.mydomain.com succeeds, returns Resource data (9)samba-001

It looks like my resolver only checks the local dns for A records.

I am running all of these commands from the PDC DC1.

/etc/resolv.conf
domain mydomain.com
nameserver 127.0.0.1

smb.conf does have a
dns forwarder = 192.168.1.2

samba-001 the actual host name, and also a PDC, in the same domain.
I would like to have the alias my-server point to samba-001.

I added a CNAME record:
bin/samba-tool dns add 127.0.0.1 mydomain.com my-server CNAME samba-001
-Uadministrator

I can query it.

bin/samba-tool dns query 127.0.0.1 mydomain.com my-server CNAME
Password for [[email protected]]:
    Name=, Records=1, Children=0
      CNAME: samba-001. (flags=f0, serial=6, ttl=900)

Host finds it.

host -t CNAME my-server.mydomain.com
my-server.mydomain.com is an alias for samba-001.

I cannot ping it, it is not resolving properly.

ping samba-001,  resolves to the proper IP
ping samba-001.mydomain.com,  resolves to the proper IP
ping my-server,  ping: unknown host
,  ping: unknown host
which unix/linux distro and version are you running?

Try
strace ping -c1 my-server.mydomain.com
and look for errors.

I did the same tests here on opensuse (samba git master) and
don't see that failure.

What do you get with:
dig @localhost my-server.mydomain.com   ?

Cheers, Günter
