In dnsmasq.conf:
address=/local/127.0.0.1
In resolv.conf:
# Generated by NetworkManager
domain example.com
search example.com
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 10.66.127.17
nameserver 10.68.5.26
I can use nslookup:
# nslookup www.local
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Name: www.local
Address: 127.0.0.1
But I can't use ping:
# ping www.local
ping: unknown host www.local
I use tcpdump to capture lo while pinging www.local, no packets, while packets like
# tcpdump -i em1 -n | grep local
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on em1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes

appeared from physical interface.
Which means ping is using mdns, but why nslookup doesn't use mdns? Why ping won't use normal dns when mdns doesn't return useful falue?
Thanks.
