Don't use /etc/hosts for anything other than specifying the
basics of your local machine. /etc/hosts is only used by the
system during boot time before BIND is up. After that, BIND
is responsible for name resolution.
Jeff C.
yes, but BIND isnt running on the machine in question... (atm)
The nets guys here are seeing a lot of lookups from this SPAMD machine
for our mailhubs to the Local dns...
which is an extra couple of miliseconds i want to avoid by specifying
them in the /etc/hosts file.
I've restarted INETD but the SPAMD machine is still looking up the hubs
to send the results of the messages back...
