Why am I unable to resolve host names until nscd is restarted?
Issue
- We tested host name resolution with ping, wget, and third party applications and host name resolution is failing while nscd is running.
- Restarting nscd fixes the issue.
- Intermittent ping request failure.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
- NSCD
