Has
anybody seen this:
We
have two separately managed networks, the corporate 2wire.com and
engineering's
eng.2wire.com. They have separate DHCP servers, but is sharing the
kickstart servers.
The
kickstart floppy uses unqualified hosts names for our kickstart server
(kickbot). The
idea
is that the same floppy can be used everywhere, as long as "kickbot"
resolves.
However, on the engineering network, the resolver file in the initial
(memory based) version
of
Linux has a only a single line with on name server. The second name server
and the
domain
name is missing. Using DHCP to configure an already installed machine
gets
the
correct resolver content.
As I
said, we only see thin on the engineering network. We cannot recreate the
problem
on the
corporate network (for the same hardware). BTW, the corp network uses
mickey-soft
DHCP
servers while eng used Linux (RedHat 7.0).
