RE: DNS bug, or is it my config in 2.3Stable1

I got the reference of 0.0.0.0 from ORA's DNS & Bind book.

I will stick with the 127.0.0.1 address from now on.

It is interesting that it did pass the dns test on startup.
If it doesn't work it probably shouldn't pass the test.

Thanks for the reply.

0.0.0.0 is a broadcast address. Broadcasts does not fit well with Suqids
requirement that the DNS reply comes from a DNS server (and query) it
has explicitly asked.

Use 127.0.0.1 if you want to ask the localhost, or the specific IP
address of another (or this) machine.

I am surprised that nslookup accepts the use of broadcast addresses.
