I have a server that responds in a weird way to ping:
$ ping hostname.com
PING hostname.com (<IP address>) 56(84) bytes of data.
From hostname.com (<IP address>) icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
From hostname.com (<IP address>) icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
From hostname.com (<IP address>) icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable
From hostname.com (<IP address>) icmp_seq=4 Destination Host Unreachable
I'm confused, as the messages come from the server that I want to ping, and at the same time it's saying Destination Host (itself) Unreachable. Pinging by IP address yields the same result. The server is online and operating normally. What could be the cause?
