Hello!


I have a serious problem...
when I pinged a hostname instead of an ip-address, I realised that my 
dns lookup isn't working.
I found out that dig works but nslookup don't!!


anyone has an idea?


some output:


bash-2.05# dig www.cisco.com

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> www.cisco.com
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
