I have setuped a DNS server in Centos6.5 and its working with every client machines other than ubuntu, now i have issue with ubuntu While im trying to ping from desktop machine to DNS server as ping masterdns.arrivu.local i can't ping its return the as

sysadmin@localhost:~$ ping masterdns.arrivu.local
ping: unknown host masterdns.arrivu.local

But while i'm pinging with the ip address its working

sysadmin@localhost:~$ ping 192.168.1.15 -c 3
PING 192.168.1.15 (192.168.1.15) 56(84) bytes of data.

3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 1999ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.265/0.386/0.450/0.089 ms

Even i have checked using host its returning the IP

sysadmin@localhost:~$ host masterdns.arrivu.local
masterdns.arrivu.local has address 192.168.1.15

My issue is i want to ping and ssh using hostname instead of ip as below

ping masterdns.arrivu.local ssh [email protected]

IM using Desktop machine with ubuntu

sysadmin@localhost:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release:    14.04
Codename:   trusty

My Desktop ip is 192.168.1.99

While i did a dig from my desktop i got the reply from DNS

sysadmin@localhost:~$ dig masterdns.arrivu.local

  • Hello im not talking about windows network, both are linux May 12, 2014 at 5:41
  • Yeah, It is similar. Could you read its answer, it should work for you too. The problem is .local domain extension which is used by Avahi (a mDNS tool).

  • @Sneetsher Could you please verify the above edit, i have added the forward and reverse Entry from DNS server too May 12, 2014 at 6:18

    DNS specific tool may resolve name, but that will fail for tools that relay on system to do that. Could add contents of /etc/nsswitch.conf

  • Thank you @drgrog, the question you mention is more convenient duplicate. (exactly same problem description). Would you flag it (I have already used my flag)
