Hi, I recently upgraded my work computer to Fedora 12 and I am having a weird DNS issue for an internal website in my organization. Performing a dig/nslookup for the web site returns a IP address but trying to contact via a web browser/wget/telnet fails with a DNS error (the actually web site and IP numbers are scrubbed) ----- ~]$ nslookup www.site.com Server: ###.###.###.### Address: ###.###.###.####53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: www.site.com Address: ***.***.***.*** ~]$ telnet www.site.com 80 telnet: www.site.com: Temporary failure in name resolution www.site.com: Host name lookup failure ---- Everyone in our organization who has upgraded to Fedora 12 and is running networking via DHCP has this issue. People with static IP addresses don't have a problem. This issue seems to be specific to only this server in the organization and did not occur with earlier versions of Fedora. Also the nsswitch.conf files are stock standard and haven't changed. We have done investigation and the issue might be related to the fact that our main DNS servers are windows boxes. When we override the DNS setting and point it at a pirate Unix (read stable!) DNS server in the problem goes away. Another work around that has been found is to run dnsmasq on the Fedora workstations. The problem is that these workarounds is that they the break dynamic DNS system we have to run. Can anyone offer some help? Even some pointers to where to start digging/debugging would be helpful because we are all stumped. Thanks, Tim Long. If it helps I have included the full output from dig for reference Querying the Window DNS server gives something like: ; <<>> DiG 9.6.1-P3-RedHat-9.6.1-16.P3.fc12 <<>> ###.###.###.### ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 24111 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;###.###.###.###.
