If I use nslookup or hostinfo to resolve noc.mit.edu,
it works fine. If I use host from the consult locker it gives me:
noc.MIT.EDU CNAME WHOS_THERE.MIT.EDU
WHOS_THERE.MIT.EDU A 18.100.0.50
!!! WHOS_THERE.MIT.EDU A record has illegal name
Exit 69
If I use dig from the watchmaker locker it also works fine.
However, utilities like finger, ping, telnet etc all fail
with errors like:
unknown host noc
or
Host name lookup failure
This is with the Solaris 2.6 named running. I'd try it with the
BIND 8 named, but it doesn't appear to be on the alpha packs yet.
