I *did* try that... without the 'A'.

I think I am seeing a deeper problem...

$ dig +short dmzview A
$ dig dmzview A

; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2 <<>> dmzview A

Oh wait...

$ dig +short dmzview.ssz.tekelec.com A
10.241.4.16

I bet it's my resolv.conf...

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
search ssz.tekelec.com tekelec.com nc.tekelec.com
nameserver 10.241.1.13
nameserver 10.241.1.11
nameserver 10.20.1.11
$

Nope... not sure why it works for a FQDN, but not for the short hostname.


Thanks for the answer, though!
