<div>we're using leaf-bearing as a router, and dnsnasq as the dns server. the host file on the router looks like this:</div>
<div> </div>
<div><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://127.0.0.1/" target="_blank">127.0.0.1</a> localhost<br><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://192.168.54.1/" target="_blank">
192.168.54.1</a> router<br><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://192.168.54.23/" target="_blank">192.168.54.23</a> computer1<br><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://192.168.54.29/" target="_blank">
192.168.54.29</a> computer2</div>

<div>when using nslookup from one of the local computers (nslookup computer1) then we get the proper ip address for this computer, on the other hand ping (ping computer1) does not work unless appending a dot at the end (ping computer1. ). I've found some info on the web, but its not that clear how to resolve this problem without having to change the host name and without having to create a domain name for the computers on our internal network..anybody have any idea how to do this ???
