Can anyone xplain this behavior to me? Given the following resolv.conf file:
r...@pm3fw:root# cat /etc/resolv.conf lookup file bind search mcn.chs kapstonepaper.com pm3.charleston.meadwestvaco.com nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 10.209.128.20 nameserver 10.209.128.26 nameserver 10.209.142.158 And: r...@pm3fw:root# nslookup > cvsup Server: 127.0.0.1 Address: 127.0.0.1#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: cvsup.mcn.chs Address: 10.209.142.151 > 10.209.142.151 Server: 127.0.0.1 Address: 127.0.0.1#53 151.142.209.10.in-addr.arpa name = cvsup.meadwestvaco.com. > exit Why does this happen ? And how? r...@pm3fw:root# nmap -T4 -A -v -PE -PS22,25,80 -PA21,23,80,3389 cvsup Starting Nmap 4.76 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2009-11-18 15:05 EST Initiating Ping Scan at 15:05 Scanning 10.209.142.151 [8 ports] Completed Ping Scan at 15:05, 0.20s elapsed (1 total hosts) Initiating Parallel DNS resolution of 1 host. at 15:05 Completed Parallel DNS resolution of 1 host. at 15:05, 0.00s elapsed Initiating SYN Stealth Scan at 15:05 Scanning cvsup.meadwestvaco.com (10.209.142.151) [1000 ports] Is nmap not using the resolver libraries? -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
