I've never understood why some are configured that way. You could try modifying that line. On my ye olde CentOS 7 and Fedora 36, mine just has hosts: files dns (I don't make use of mdns/zeroconf/automangle) The "files" option means to check the /etc/hosts file, which is typically just used for the localhost addresses, now.

It is resolving. It looks like you're having a web browser issue (not connecting, or something jamming in the cache). I'm guessing you've restarted your browsing during this situation. But have you tried flushing its cache, too? You can flush the cache without destroying saved logins, history, etc. Do you use one of those HTTPS-only plug-ins? Do you get different results for attempting http://slashdot.org/ versus https://slashdot.org ? Do you have more than one browser installed on the problem machine? Can you try installing another one, even if just temporarily? -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.80.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 8 15:48:59 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
