Ubuntu 13.10: nslookup not automatically appending DNS suffixes
- by Alex
When I configure Ubuntu 13.10 server I ran into a problem:
Usally (working on 12.10 machines) I add the following information in my /etc/resolv.conf file:
nameserver 192.168.2.180
domain our.domain.com
Normally, when I then ping a given host , .e.g:
ping host01
It would resolve the FQDN to host01.our.domain.com
However in ubuntu 13.10 this doesn't seem to be working, it just returns the following:
~# nslookup host01
Server: 192.168.2.180
Address: 192.168.2.180#53
** server can't find host01: SERVFAIL
Which is normaly since the DNS server doesnt respont to a 'host01' request.
However if I do the same nslookup on an Ubuntu 12.10 machine it automatically appends the 'our.domain.com' suffix to whatever I throw at it that doens't already have this suffix.
Is this a 13.10 bug, or am I doing something wrong?
