I wonder if your /etc/resolve.conf is set to dns Servernames AND
/etc/nsswitch.conf is set to dns and then files.. vice files and then dns..
Just wondering..
This file resolve has your dns servers in it.
the file snwitch.conf decides where to go first and then second. If this is
set to dns then it will do a nslookup first..
*EXAMPLES*
To lookup hosts in /etc/hosts and then from the DNS, and lookup user
information from NIS then files, use:
*hosts: files dns*
passwd: nis [notfound=return] files
group: nis [notfound=return] files
The criteria ``[notfound=return]'' sets a policy of "if the user is not-
found in nis, don't try files." This treats nis as the authoritative
source of information, except when the server is down.
Otherwise: I am not sure I know any other quick checks..
