[Dnsmasq-discuss] Weird issue when pinging FQDN

[Tyekanyk]

Any input in this problem ? I am almost sure that is Linux related... im
missing something...

btw, I forgot in my last post to put the info for oblivion (the server that
I am actually pinging), its on /etc/hosts as it should, on the server.
