I am running dd-wrt and I configured it's dns server to resolve a few hosts inside my network.
When I use dig
to lookup these hosts, they are resolved OK, but when I try to ping those hosts I always receive an unknown host
error message.
For example:
obe:~ simao$ dig dd-wrt
; <<>> DiG 9.6.0-APPLE-P2 <<>> dd-wrt
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 44026
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;dd-wrt. IN A
;; ANSWER SECTION:
dd-wrt. 0 IN A 192.168.1.1
But then:
obe:~ simao$ ping dd-wrt
ping: cannot resolve dd-wrt: Unknown host
Any ideas?
Thanks.

dig
's manpage states its behavior with respect to OSX's resolver libraries, specifically stating that adig
response can be different from OSX's normal resolving functions. Since it's unclear what 'domain' the host 'dd-wrt' belongs to, then you might want to fully qualify the name by appending a '.' to the end:ping dd-wrt.
