I know when you say to know about hosts.conf or nsswitch.conf as to what you are pointing to. But things are not working. Here is nsswitch.conf entry
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 You can note files is mentioned before dns (I think this is what you wanted to point) and in same way /etc/hosts.conf is order hosts,bind multi on So things upto here are perfect but it still does not work and I don't understand why. -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
