[Dnsmasq-discuss] DHCP configured hosts not resolved

[Matt Brown]

Hello,

I can dig a DHCP configured host, but when I try to connect to it, I
get a resolution failure.  Very confusing:

$ dig wmii

; <<>> DiG 9.4.2 <<>> wmii
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 39432

;; QUESTION SECTION:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
wmii.			0	IN	A	192.168.122.83

;; Query time: 0 msec

$ ping wmii
ping: unknown host wmii



I don't know too much about how DNS works, so I'm probably overlooking
something basic.  Any ideas?

thanks,
Matt Brown
