Hello,
I am running dd-wrt and I configured it's dns server to resolve a few hosts inside my network.
When I use dig
to lookup these hosts, they are resolved OK, but when I try to ping those hosts I always receive an unknown host
error message.
For example:
obe:~ simao$ dig dd-wrt
; <<>> DiG 9.6.0-APPLE-P2 <<>> dd-wrt
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 44026
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;dd-wrt. IN A
;; ANSWER SECTION:
dd-wrt. 0 IN A 192.168.1.1
But then:
obe:~ simao$ ping dd-wrt
ping: cannot resolve dd-wrt: Unknown host
Any ideas?
Thanks.
