Hi Cullen,

 

BTW:  It looks like there is a way to change the ares precedence (DNS vs hosts file).  If you put the following line into /etc/resolv.conf:

lookup f b

you are telling ares to look in host (f)ile before DNS(b) servers.  (I have no idea why it’s ‘b’ and not ‘d’.)

 

I suspect 'b' was chosen for BIND. :-)  I agree, odd choice.
