    Exclamation name resolution works starnge ???

    hello,

    Just install OpenViX 5.1.012 (2018-01-18)... and FQDN name resolution stop to work, see below:

    root@vu-sr:~# nslookup vu-4k
    Server: 192.168.10.254
    Address 1: 192.168.10.254 ccr0.home.local
    Name: vu-4k
    Address 1: 192.168.10.15 vu-4k.home.local
    root@vu-sr:~# nslookup vu-4k.home.local
    Server: 192.168.10.254
    ddress 1: 192.168.10.254 ccr0.home.local
    nslookup: can't resolve 'vu-4k.home.local'
    root@vu-sr:~#

    the same output from windows 10 box, works fine:
    C:\Users\efili>nslookup vu-4k
    Server: ccr0.home.local
    Address: 192.168.10.254
    Non-authoritative answer:
    Name: vu-4k.home.local
    Address: 192.168.10.15
    C:\Users\efili>nslookup vu-4k.home.local
    Server: ccr0.home.local
    Address: 192.168.10.254
    Non-authoritative answer:
    Name: vu-4k.home.local
    Address: 192.168.10.15

    and now one more output from Delian:
    root@sm0-srv:~# nslookup vu-4k
    Server: 192.168.10.254
    Address: 192.168.10.254#53
    Non-authoritative answer:
    Name: vu-4k.home.local
    Address: 192.168.10.15
    root@sm0-srv:~# nslookup vu-4k.home.local
    Server: 192.168.10.254
    Address: 192.168.10.254#53
    Non-authoritative answer:
    Name: vu-4k.home.local
    Address: 192.168.10.15


    As you can see all works fine, but openvix correctly resolve only hostname with default suffix, but have a problem for FQDN

    Seems like a bug???

    It's not a bug, you're using the wrong address, see below:
    Code:
    vuuno4k.local

    Hello,

    not sure I understand your answer. and Seems it's a problem related to .local domain. which I use at home. please see my output:

    root@vu-4k:~# uname -a
    Linux vu-4k 3.14.28-1.12 #1 SMP Mon Apr 16 21:37:14 BST 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux

    root@vu-4k:~# hostname -f
    vu-4k.home.local

    root@vu-4k:~# cat /etc/hosts
    127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
    # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
    ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
    fe00::0 ip6-localnet
    ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
    ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
    ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

    root@vu-4k:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf
    domain home.local
    nameserver 192.168.10.254
    nameserver 192.168.10.253

    root@vu-4k:~# nslookup vu-4k
    Server: 192.168.10.254
    Address 1: 192.168.10.254 ccr0.home.local
    Name: vu-4k
    Address 1: 192.168.10.15 vu-4k.home.local

    root@vu-4k:~# nslookup vu-4k.home.local
    Server: 192.168.10.254
    Address 1: 192.168.10.254 ccr0.home.local
    nslookup: can't resolve 'vu-4k.home.local'

    Anything I try to do nslookup with my domain home.local actually I do not see this request going to my DNS server. DNS server works fine, I am 100% sure, because other systems (windows, Debian) resolve this domain without any problem...

    Also I try Vu 4k Uno, and Vu 4k Ultimo (both do not resolve FQDN)

    Not strictly true.
    It's a feature of the fact that Vix uses avahi, which implements Apple's Zeroconf architecture (also known as "Rendezvous" or "Bonjour").
    Apple basically hijacked the .local DNS zone for this to use it as a dynamic DNS zone (appliances can register names in here as they start up).
    The result is that you can't use a sub-domain of the .local zone as your home DNS zone.

    I know, as I also had a similar set-up at one point, and had to switch away from it.

    If you want to set up your own local DNS domain you should use .corp, .home or .mail ;probably the middle one.

    Code:
