Suppose that a LAN has machines myworkstation and myserver with private addresses and that myworkstation:/etc/hosts contains this line. 172.24.1.1 myserver.site.invalid myserver
What response should come from `host myserver` executed on myworkstation? By consulting /etc/hosts, it should be able to report the address 172.24.1.1. I get only this. pe...@myworkstation:~$ host myserver Host myserver not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) Thanks, ... p. crawford _________________________________________________________________ One at a time or all at once?
