In what universe does this makes any sense? The DNS server at 10.10.10.11 is good. I'm resolving names with it right now to post this question. I can do host and it resolves to what I expect. But ping always returns unknown host.

[root@www network-scripts]# host infradc2012.infrasupport.local
infradc2012.infrasupport.local has address 10.10.10.11
[root@www network-scripts]# ping infradc2012.infrasupport.local
ping: unknown host infradc2012.infrasupport.local

OK, the above didn't come from RHEL. It came from a Fedora 21 RHEV 3.5 virtual machine in a RHEV 3.5 environment I cloned. After cloning, I updated ifcfg-eth0 with its new MAC address and a new IP Address. What I don't get is why does ping resolve addresses differently than the host command?

thanks
