Good day, Here is the situation. When working on my RHEL6 host, I use AT&T dialer to connect to my companies intranet. When doing so, my resolv.conf file is updated to include the nameservers of my company. Then, I use openconnect in order to connect to our customer. This also works and the resolv.conf file is edited by VPNC to include the nameservers of our customer. The problem lies in the fact that if i try to perform any resolution, it fails because, for some reason, my O/S has now been told that recursion is not allowed and only the first name server in my resolv.conf file is queried. ex: [root at oc8146477318 ~]# nslookup w3.ibm.com Server: 96.4.1.83 Address: 96.4.1.83#53 ** server can't find w3.ibm.com: NXDOMAIN If I connect to my AT&T dialer and then use Cisco Anyconnect Gui or CLI to connect to the customer, name resolution works: ex: [root at oc8146477318 cscotun0]# nslookup w3.ibm.com ;; Got recursion not available from 96.4.1.83, trying next server ;; Got recursion not available from 96.130.126.21, trying next server Server: 9.0.148.50 Address: 9.0.148.50#53 w3.ibm.com canonical name = w3.ibm.eventsgslb.ibm.com. Name: w3.ibm.eventsgslb.ibm.com Address: 9.17.137.11 When using openconnect, I am trying to understand why name resolution is not going through the entire list of name servers defined in resolv.conf. Can you please help? Am I missing some flag or must i edit vpnc somehow? Thanks, Ron Leibovici
