Hostname resolution from one linux host to another linux hos

[mashkoor.qadir]

Dear all,

I am using windows DNS server in my environment.

All windows clients can ping all linux and windows machines. but I can't ping from one Linux host to another Linux. Ping response is unknown host. However it is working fine with FQDN(eg: host1.linux.example.com).

I need to resolve only with hostname (eg host1.linux).

How to get it resolve.

add the search or domain field to your /etc/resolv.conf files. for example

Code: Select all

nameserver 192.168.1.1
domain mycompany.com

or

Code: Select all

nameserver 192.168.1.1
search mysubdomain.mycompany.com mycompany.com

Thanks Lambda,

Adding search option in /etc/resolv.conf file fixed my issue.
