Okay.. let's say on my personal desktop (win2k), I do a Pinging pc1.com [192.168.0.156] with 32 bytes of data Reply from 192.168.0.156: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128 ping pc-wan-link.com [192.168.0.156] with 32 bytes of data Reply from 192.168.0.156: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128 See.. Same IP, diff Hostname In Linux, I do a [shrike@shrike log]$ host pc1.com wdm20179.my.asia.wdc.com has address 192.168.0.156 [shrike@shrike log]$ host pc-wan-link.com wdvirtual2000.my.asia.wdc.com has address 192.168.0.156 Both pointing to the same IP Address, yet Different Hostname But if I do a [shrike@shrike log]$ host 192.168.0.156 156.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer pc-wan-link.com. > Any manner of interesting things can be going on here.

DNS server has been configured hard-coded mappings of pc hostnames to IPs they dynamically assign.????? Is that it?? > > Of course, the simple thing might be to call corporate IT and see if > they can explain what you see. > I doubt they'll be bothered. is there a way to get ssh to put in the IP add instead of the hostname? since 1 Ip resolves to 2 hostnames. BTW, Thanks for the reply. -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
