[BlueOnyx:11463] Re: yum update error - cannotresolve hostupdates.blueonyx.it

[Tjerk Hacquebord]

Not sure if this helps but this is what Google comes up with.
Maybe the problem is similar;

"Apparently YUM will ONLY check the very first entry in the
/etc/resolve.conf file when it looks for the server to resolve IP Addresses.
In this case, the local DNS resolver was not configured to use forwarders,
so the YUM process would ask the local DNS server where to find
"mirrorlist.centos.org", and when the local resolver didn't know, YUM would
simply report an error instead of looking at the other resolvers in the
/etc/resolve.conf list. This is why I could ping URL's just fine, but YUM
could not find them."

I believe so.

> What happens when you do this:

[root at bx etc]# host updates.blueonyx.it
updates.blueonyx.it has address 38.114.102.5

It seems to resolve the IP just fine with that command. That's the same IP I
see when I ping the updates host.
