Here's a quick hand-written patch to solved your problem. Apply to /etc/host.conf: ---- +hosts bind -hosts ---- ----- End of forwarded message from Matthew D. Fuller ----- I understand what the RFCs say, and i understand what people are trying to say with the advices (I have like the one just above, but I don't see how it fits in the reality. Check the traceroute I pasted below - that router 10.0.232.27 is not on my internal network. (I have NO private IP addresses). So, are you saying I need to have all 2^512 (18609625) in my /etc/hosts file ???? Besides If I do "whois -h arin.net 10.0.232.27" (or 10.0.0.1) it says that there are two default nameservers for that zone. Actually, last night one of them (BLACKHOLE.ISI.EDU) was not responding to queries at all. (I guess, it probably was it that responded with the funny names earlier yesterday, but then was taken down) Igor PS. It would be nice to avoid receiving double e-mails, especially those which are not a direct response to my e-mail ... whois -h arin.net 10.0.232.27 IANA (RESERVED-6) Internet Assigned Numbers Authority Information Sciences Institute University of Southern California 4676 Admiralty Way, Suite 1001 Marina del Rey, CA 90292-6695 Netname: RESERVED-10 Netblock: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 Coordinator: Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA-ARIN) iana@iana.org (310) 822-1511 Domain System inverse mapping provided by: BLACKHOLE.ISI.EDU 128.9.64.26 NS2.INTERNIC.NET 198.41.0.11 traceroute www.home.net traceroute to www.home.net (24.0.30.175), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 uiuc-physics-vlan1.gw.uiuc.edu (130.126.8.1) 5 ms 5 ms 30 ms 2 t-terra.gw.uiuc.edu (128.174.1.226) 4 ms 7 ms 4 ms 3 t-dmz.gw.uiuc.edu (128.174.0.250) 4 ms 35 ms 5 ms 4 NChicago1-core0.nap.net (207.227.0.217) 85 ms 44 ms 13 ms 5 NVienna-core0.nap.net (207.112.247.190) 46 ms 322 ms 246 ms 6 * mae-east.home.net (192.41.177.148) 86 ms 69 ms 7 172.16.5.57 (172.16.5.57) 99 ms (ttl=248!) 113 ms (ttl=248!) * 8 172.16.6.194 (172.16.6.194) 114 ms (ttl=247!) 125 ms (ttl=247!) 125 ms (t tl=247!) 9 172.16.4.5 (172.16.4.5) 100 ms (ttl=246!) 126 ms (ttl=246!) 140 ms (ttl=2 46!) 10 10.0.232.27 (10.0.232.27) 115 ms (ttl=245!) 208 ms (ttl=245!) 113 ms (ttl =245!) 11 nbweb2.dmz.home.net (24.0.30.167) 119 ms (ttl=244!) * 138 ms (ttl=244!)
