If you try "dig 127.0.0.631" it tries to resolve it to an IP without complaint (of course there's no answer). If you try "dig -x 127.0.0.631" it resolves it as localhost. That's dig querying whatever F36 is doing internally (probably is systemd-resolved.service): [tim@fluffy ~]$ cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 127.0.0.53 options edns0 trust-ad If I make dig query a real DNS server (BIND on CentOS7) it doesn't get answers. -- NB: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
