Hi,
I just spent an hour debugging the fact that you installed the systems
in new house before DNS existed for them. When installing a new
machine, DNS must exist before you do the install. You can check this with:
hostinfo machinename
If it says no such host, you must wait before you can do the install.
Neither ops nor hesreq controls DNS updates, they are controlled by
the network group.
You should now go re-install all of the machines in the new house
cluster (yes, I know they *look* like they are working, you can't see
all of the brokenness if you don't know what to look for, re-install
them anyway) and I think someone owes me some chocolate.
For the history conscious, this is the same problem that we saw on
weboffice3 when someone in hotline installed it before DNS existed for
it.
