I was doing some test loads and what I noticed was that when I enabled dhcp on an interface that it would look to the router ip as the primary dns and then put in a secondary and a tertiary. So what and then the bogus search domain So what I ended up doing for this was making a /etc/resolv.bak with just the real primary and secondary as the router doesn't have bind running of course and getting rid of the search and putting in something in /etc/rc.local like cp -af /etc/resolv.bak /etc/resolv.conf and the problem went away. Remember I was just testing 4.4 upgrades and how well the mirrors were handling the stress etc etc before I blow up some production servers. It appears to me in this case you should focus on dhcp issues or some sort... i.e. look at this /etc/resolv.conf file and it tells you the answer as far as I am concerned. It is *generated* by the dhcp also, is there more than one Ethernet interface on this machine? It would have been easier to see if the resolver was working on the 192.168.1.4 box before you took it out of the loop... I could be wrong about dhcp issues of course yet at least I tried ;-> - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
