it's on a RH 7.2 system.
My /etc/nsswitch has:
hosts: files nisplus dns
I'm assuming that files is /etc/hosts
/etc/resolv.conf is as:
#search alpha.slackinc.com,slackinc.com
#domain alpha.slackinc.com
search slackinc.com
domain slackinc.com
nameserver 10.10.1.34
#nameserver 10.10.1.35
nameserver 172.16.20.103
nameserver 172.16.20.106
nameserver 172.16.20.109
(our system is alpha.slackinc.com) and not any of the IP's listed.
Those are our internal DNS servers.
