/etc/hosts file not being used before DNS server query Thanks for the suggestion NikTh but that's not my problem. My entires aren't being removed, they are always there, they just aren't being used. If I execute host www.somesite.com where "www.somesite.com" is an entry in my hosts file, I seem to always get the IP given out by my DNS server which is different to that in my hosts file. Sometimes it works, mostly it doesn't though. |
