Hi,

Since a few days I find out a strange stuff.
There is a device on my network which is on 172.16.85.1, associate with it's own hostname on my /etc/hosts file. But when I try to reach this device using it's hostname my workstation try to reach this host with a bad ip address.

Typicaly :
----------

#cat /etc/hosts|grep Caliphora
172.16.85.1             Caliphora cali
#ping Caliphora
PING Caliphora (10.0.0.113): 56 data bytes
--- Caliphora ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss


So, do OpenBSD save this information in an another file than /etc/hosts ?


Thanks for help,


Yanic.
