[HPN_1]

Hi Guys

If i change the search order in /etc/reolv.conf do i have any impact becouse of it

Eg ( Now the entry is )
search hai.priv hello.corp.priv bye.irco.com

IWANT TO CHANGE THIS, like as Follows

search hello.corp.priv hai.priv bye.irco.com

Please let me know your valuable advice on this.

Hello,

Of course this would have a huge impact for the local host.

Supposing that each of the domains listed on that files have a host called "www", let's say that you would issue this command:

ping www

before editing that file you would get replays from www.hai.priv

afther that modification, you would get replays
from www.hello.corp

Best regards,
Horia.

Hi Horia

Thanks for the responce. can you tell me other than ping issue what else can happen. I mean Major impact to production,

[Horia Chirculescu · Accepted solution]

Every hostname lookup will be affected.

So every daemon or client (running on your server) using names and needing name resolution would suffer after this issue.

If the FQDN will be used, there will be not a problem at all (meaning: if your server would open let's say a connection to oracle using this name

ora

will depend on this change but using

ora.hai.priv

would not suffer about this issue)
