/etc/hosts file issue
Dear Team,
We have added more than three thousand entries in etc/hosts file for the local naming resolution. Some times naming resolution is not happening properly. We have restarted the network service after updated the hosts file. Kindly suggest what is correct procedure to update /etc/hosts file and is there any count limit for hosts file? we are using red hat 5 in our system. thanks in advance.. regards ranjith |
nslookup or dig the name to see what is resolving it.
Be sure to watch out for www.somename.com and somename.com issues. Cache in some apps might need to be cleared. The hosts file tends to be checked at the start of an app. Changes made to hosts will not be checked until the app is restarted. It should not affect networking services. A proxy.pac will not use a hosts file. |
