Chris
The command
root@mws:~# host oldchris
does a hosts lookup, I assume in the local tables, and gets
oldchris.zbmc.eu has address 192.168.1.140
... and then does a DNS lookup and ....
Host oldchris.zbmc.eu not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
... as is on my machine...
keith@laptop:~$ host oldchris.zbmc.eu Host oldchris.zbmc.eu not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) keith@laptop:~$ nslookup oldchris.zbmc.eu Server: 192.168.1.254 Address: 192.168.1.254#53
** server can't find oldchris.zbmc.eu: NXDOMAIN
keith@laptop:~$ dig oldchris.zbmc.eu

What might cause this somewhat confusing response to a 'host' command?
root@mws:~# host oldchris oldchris.zbmc.eu has address 192.168.1.140 Host oldchris.zbmc.eu not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
