Hello,

This was what I see when checking on babar.gridka.de or babar2.gridka.de 
(redirector). When I run from the NAS boxes I see the other NAS boxes the 
same way but the one on which I am running the check displays 
"localhost.localdomain localhost".

For example:

getent hosts 10.65.1.124 works and gives on this NAS box:
10.65.1.124     f01-001-124.gridka.de

also if I run: getent hosts f01-001-116.gridka.de
10.65.1.116     f01-001-116.gridka.de

but I get: getent hosts f01-001-116
127.0.0.1       f01-001-116 localhost.localdomain localhost

Regards,
   Gregory
