    Hi all,
    I have setup successfully BIND service in RedHat. I have also used nslookup to lookup IP address of a host in Intranet. It'ok.

    But "ping <host>" does not work.

    Help me why?
    Here is my tracking of commands:

    [root@server5 etc]# nslookup server3
    Note:  nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases.
    Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead.  Run nslookup with
    the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing.
    Server:         192.168.2.15
    Address:        192.168.2.15#53

    Name:   server3.vn.ibs-dp.com
    Address: 192.168.2.13

    [root@server5 etc]# ping server3
    ping: unknown host server3
    [root@server5 etc]#
