Really Stuch: ssh username@domain.com fails, but ssh username@hardcodedip does work

[Spencer A Marks]

Hi,

I have weird problem I can't solve. i was hoping someone could help. Actually, I was really hoping.

On my server (Linux Mandrake 7.1) I am running

SSH Version OpenSSH_2.2.0p1, protocol versions 1.5/2.0.
Compiled with SSL (0x0090581f).

On my client I am running (Mac OS X 10.0.3)

OpenSSH_2.5.2p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090581f

I can connect from the client to the server using te actually ip

e.g.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

but when I try using the domain name I get:

OpenSSH_2.5.2p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090581f
debug1: Seeded RNG with 28 bytes from programs
debug1: Seeded RNG with 3 bytes from system calls
debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be trusted.
debug1: ssh_connect: getuid 501 geteuid 501 anon 1
debug1: Trying again...
debug1: Trying again...
debug1: Trying again...
Secure connection to digisolutions.com refused.
debug1: writing PRNG seed to file /Users/sam/.ssh/prng_seed

I can successfully contact to other servers using the domain name.

e.g. ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]

works

So does connecting from other machines to my server.

world$ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -v

Anyway, I have been trying to figure this out for a while, and now I am stuck.
(I even started reading the SSH the Definitive Guide for clues, but so far
while a great read, it hasne't helped with this particular problem.)

Any pointers appreciated.

Thanks Much
