What about changing the host file on the Checkpoint device? I answer this
with a question because my first response was adjusting the host file on
the other 2 servers. Apparently that was already thought of and shot down.

1) changing host file on the checkpoint device will not do any good because the
application itself will always use DNS instead of host file.
2) running a local DNS server on each host is not possible. They are

FYI, the one place we learned that this is not true is when a proxy server
is defined, at least Microsoft's ISA 2000 proxy server. ISA does the DNS
resolution on behalf of their web proxy clients. We discovered (the hard
way) that modifying the local HOSTS file had absolutely no effect at all.
Hi Gurus,
Please advise with the following scenario:
Checkpoint Secureplatform NG with AI R55w and the lastest HFA_04.
This firewall has 3 interfaces, Internet, Internal and Dmz.
I have a host in my Internal network with an IP address of 192.168.1.10.
This host is static NAT to
Did you tried putting the internal IP addressed in those machines local
host table. This should by pass the dns server and resolve the fqdn
locally to the private IP addressRamki

Hello Cisco4ng.
I was wondering: can you edit each server's hosts file, so that the other
server's name gets resolved to the IP address that you want?
That way, DNS will not even be used when one wants to access the other.

I wish that it could be that easy. The problem is that this stupid application

I contacted the vendor and they say it will take about 2 week to come up with
a fix
for this.
