This isn't strictly a FreeBSD question, but I'm hoping someone here can
help me out.
I'm running
FreeBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE #0: Sun Jan 10 19:12:57 PST 1999
and I also get the problem on
FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE (SPIDER) #0: Thu Oct 8 14:30:19 PDT 1998
I am unable to ping cbca.micromedia.on.ca
(I get 'ping: cannot resolve cbca.micromedia.on.ca: Unknown host')
although I can use nslookup with ns 199.60.118.2 to get:
Name: cbca-prod.micromedia.on.ca
Address: 204.187.104.128
Aliases: cbca.micromedia.on.ca, cbca_prod.micromedia.on.ca
I CAN ping cbca-prod.micromedia.on.ca
I realize the _ in cbca_prod not recommended, but should the existence of
an alternate incorrect alias cause the resolver to fail? The site in
question already changed the name from cbca_prod to cbca-prod at my
request, and also added the extra alias, cbca_prod.
