Google.com wont load but google IP will. Entering IP in /etc/hosts, doesnt work
 
I can access google by their IP address, however clicking any link redirects to google.com rather than their IP.

it's my understanding that if
74.125.47.147 google.com
is in the hosts file it will bypass the DNS server and go directly to the IP.. Well, this is what i want to have happen.

When I run "dig google.com" I see:

dig google.com

The IP you listed is NOT returned for Google.

When I run dig www.google.com I see:

Again the IP you listed is NOT one of the above sites.


When I run dig -x 74.125.47.147 I see:

Whois indicates 1e100.net is owned by Google. However the above digs suggest that this is NOT the main Google site as you seem to think. Without knowing what the purpose of 1e100.net is I don't think I'd be going there.

What happens when you run dig from where you are?

Links in google are like using a new dns. They don't go though hosts.


What does nslookup www.google.com return?
