[ale] resolver problems

[Geoffrey]

Okay, I need some education here folks.  I have two machines on the same 
network here at home.  One machine has two nics, one to permit me to 
print to the home printer, another connected to the corporate vpn.  The 
print machine is named 'print'.  The other machine is named tachyon.  In 
tachyon's /etc/host file I have:

172.16.255.99 print print.home.edu

tachyon's fq name is tachyon.home.edu

/etc/resolv.conf on tachyon contains single entry to nameserver for my 
corporate vpn.

I can ping 'print' from tachyon by using either the fq name or short 
name (print print.home.edu)

cups uses http type approach to access printers.  I can access print 
from tachyon with:

http://print/

but can not access it with http://print.home.edu/  it returns an error 
from the proxy server on the vpn, which it should not be going to at all 
for that request, so far as I can see.

Another machine on the same subnet can access 'print' either way.

/etc/host.conf contains:

order host,bind

So what gives?

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
