No. Earlier glibc version did an additional lookup just for the sake of
broken installations like yours. I've disabled this by default since
you cannot expect everybody to pay for your convenience.
Ok thanks a lot for the
explanation (but anyway: how come someone was
charged for letting me resolve simple internal names like "trex"?? ;)
).
Now, what I know is I have a broken installation; what I do not know
is how to fix it:
Is it broke at the server side (DHCP and/or DNSmasq) or at the client one?
Will be a solution to name all the machines with a proper (or dummy)
domain name (i.e. putting HOSTNAME=trex.local in
/etc/sysconfig/network)?
Any pointers to relevant docs?
Cheers
