Ok thanks a lot for the explanation (but anyway: how come someone was charged for letting me resolve simple internal names like "trex"?? ;) ). Now, what I know is I have a broken installation; what I do not know is how to fix it: Is it broke at the server side (DHCP and/or DNSmasq) or at the client one? Will be a solution to name all the machines with a proper (or dummy) domain name (i.e. putting HOSTNAME=trex.local in /etc/sysconfig/network)? Any pointers to relevant docs? Cheers Gianluca
