I have a server out on the net, and it's been up for a week or two. |
2 |
I've been on and off it all week long, but as of last night, DNS |
3 |
didn't seem to work for it. Network connectivity worked, because not |
4 |
only could I ssh *in*, but I could also contact the outside network |
5 |
as long as I used something in the hosts file or an IP address. |
6 |
Adding more (known good) DNS servers to /etc/resolv.conf doesn't seem |
7 |
to help. DNS was working recently, and I haven't changed anything |
8 |
since then. A reboot didn't help (I would have just stopped && |
9 |
started networking... but, well, all I have is ssh, so...). |

11 |
One very weird thing is that it can apparently send mail to outside |
12 |
network addresses. It could send to my gmail account fine last night, |
13 |
though it seemed to take a while (20 minutes or so, when normally |
14 |
it's instantaneous). I don't have gmail or google in my /etc/hosts. |

|
16 |
I've seen elsewhere to look at the output of iptables, but it has |
17 |
never been installed. |
18 |
The contents of /etc/nsswitch.conf are at http://vlack.com/vlack/lol/ |
19 |
nsswitch.conf. I'm getting nowhere, and I have no idea why. |

Thanks. |
