Yes, it is your DNS provider.

Thanks for pointing this out. Explicitely setting search local wasn't
required on my previous machines, all of which ran Linux though, which
is a different kind of beast.. The 8.2 machine I was talking about
doesn't have wildcard domain names set.


Best regards,

Hi,

Nope, it's not my DNS provider. I checked that.

On the furnace.wzff.de jail:
# cat /etc/resolv.conf 
# Generated by resolvconf
nameserver 213.133.98.98
nameserver 213.133.99.99
nameserver 213.133.100.100
# host foo1
Host foo1 not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
# grep foo1 /etc/hosts
# telnet foo1 25
Trying 178.63.197.15...
Connected to wzff.de.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 wzff.de ESMTP Exim 4.72 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 20:18:45 +0100
QUIT
221 wzff.de closing connection
Connection closed by foreign host.

Same thing on the mail.wzff.de jail:
# telnet foo1 25
Trying 178.63.197.15...
Connected to wzff.de.
Escape character is '^]'.

jabber.barfooze.de:
# telnet fu1 25
Trying 78.46.117.212...
Connected to fu1.barfooze.de.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 barfooze.de ESMTP Exim 4.76 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 20:25:57 +0100

Interestingly, on this jail it connects to a subdomain.

I tried telnet and irssi, and both of them do this, so it's probably not
an application bug either. Any hints where else I should look?

Hello,

my 9.0-RC2 installation on furnace.wzff.de keeps connecting to wzff.de

subdomain of barfooze.de and tries to connect to barfooze.de if it can't
find a suitable DNS or /etc/hosts record.

I dislike when computers try to be smart like this, and I can't really
think how this is useful, and it also doesn't happen on another machine
that has a subdomain of something set as hostname and is running 8.2, so
I want to disable it. Can anyone give me a hint how to do it?



Add e. g. ``search local'' to /etc/resolv.conf.
The behaviour is explained in man resolv.conf, "search".

Or disable wildcard entries in your dns server config.

Change your DNS server to Google (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).

It's your DNS providers' doing.

Disable automatic "Fallback" IP on 9.0-RC2 when a hostname cannot be resolved

If you can't, which of the numerous mailing lists would be the right one
to contact in this case?

This is 9.0-RC2 on amd64, last updated 2011-11-09.
