I think part of your OS is outsmarting you and refusing to send DNS queries of *.local to a normal DNS server. The "host" command is skipping to directly querying DNS. Maybe something like systemd-resolved? I vaguely recall *.local being intended for multicast DNS alternative things. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
