Many thanks :-) The name resolver behaviour must have changed between core 2 and core 3? Im using dnsmasq for the LAN, the server configuration is unchanged - it was working against RH9,core1 and core 2 ! http://thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html I don't understand this nameresolver problem. Dig and nslookup say all is fine, but ping says no - unless the name has an extra "." I don't expect a tutorial, but which end is wrong, the name resolver client in core 3 or the masqurading dns server ?
