I had other network hostname issues. google lead me to a file called /etc/nsswitch.conf
I replaced a line from a other linux box `hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns` resolving all my issues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1947455 Title: sub sub domain names not properly resolved Status in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in bind9 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I have a local lan with a libvirt server and on that a vpn I have a wildcard sub domain at freedns.afraid.org (sub.hostname.com) that has a kvm and vpn sub sub domain names. (sub.sub.hostname.com) If i ping the sub sub hostname outside my local lan i get my external IP address. but also if i ping from within my local lan network dig and nslookup do a resolve to my local ip. But ping and applications like openvpn and libvirt cant connect to the local application. I worked around it by registering two sub domains at freedns.afraid.org those are resolved correctly to the local IP address. No logs due to privacy.
