Hi,

In /etc/nsswitch.conf,

hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue] dns

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,
create /etc/nsswitch.conf file with a single line.
hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue] dns
Have your resolv.conf as usual. This setup will
serve your purpose.
#man nsswitch.conf

Hi

Ur /etc/nsswitch.conf can be like this

hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue, TRYAGAIN=continue] dns nis

Normally this file will be there.. U will have to just edit only...

Best of luck

Hi Malki,

In your /etc/nsswitch.conf file try this entry,

hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue] dns

then try,

nslookup
> server_name (exist in /etc/hosts)
> server_name (does not exist in /etc/hosts /exists in DNS)

Hope this helps.

Malki,

You're right - as you've shown your nsswitch file, DNS would be tried first and, only if the DNS lookup failed, the hosts file would be consulted next.

Good Luck,
Pete
