Hi, Thanks a lot for answering. My actual host is consistent: ~ # host 158.64.125.153 153.125.64.158.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer ppp-125-153.adsl.restena.lu. ~ # host ppp-125-153.adsl.restena.lu ppp-125-153.adsl.restena.lu has address 158.64.125.153
While connecting to the www server I used tcpdump on the server, I noticed that the server did not issue any dns queries?!
