Working on CentOS7 - after entering non-existing domain:
# ping dfgsdfgsdfsdf.sd
The answer is (mail.xsistema.lt is local domain, machine name):
PING dfgsdfgsdfsdf.sd.xsistema.lt (192.168.0.55) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from mail.xsistema.lt (192.168.0.55): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.037 ms
64 bytes from mail.xsistema.lt (192.168.0.55): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.038 ms
64 bytes from mail.xsistema.lt (192.168.0.55): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.038 ms
How can I fix this?
You have an option in /etc/resolv.conf that adds a domain (xsistema.lt) automatically to any name that does not exist.
Since dfgsdfgsdfsdf.sd does not exist, it gets in fact converted to dfgsdfgsdfsdf.sd.xsistema.lt.
And this resolves for any name because there is a DNS wildcard in the zone:
$ dig '*.xsistema.lt' +short
88.119.185.129
mail.xsistema.lttomailproblem is solved :) – Ernestas Gruodis Jul 23 at 11:10
