[users@httpd] Confusion about the hosts
This may sound too trivial to the group but still i have to get through
this.
dig www.msgeng.com
Problem: 1. I have three hosts stored in my /etc/hosts. when i dig to
these hosts each time i get a different address and not the ip stored in
the /etc/hosts. how is that possible.
2. I have a domain www.msgeng.com in the /etc/hosts and still i am unable
to dig the www.msgeng.com. Is it not enough that the ip address be
specified in the hosts for a successful dig
3. And this is just beyond me. Why is it that i ping to the www.ghg.com or
www.def.com the reply has www.msgeng.com in the result
Some information
1. Ping
ping www.def.com
PING www.def.com (210.210.122.132) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from www.msgeng.com (210.210.122.132): icmp_seq=0 ttl=64
time=0.037 ms
--- www.def.com ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 999ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.037/0.040/0.043/0.003 ms, pipe 2
[root@ramya conf]# ping www.ghg.com
PING www.ghg.com (210.210.122.132) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from www.msgeng.com (210.210.122.132): icmp_seq=0 ttl=64
time=0.044 ms
--- www.ghg.com ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1000ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.041/0.042/0.044/0.006 ms, pipe 2
2.I tried to dig all three domains-

You can't just assign yourself other peoples domains. Stop trying!
Your confusion seems to be down to screwing up your DNS. That's not
an Apache problem, but needs to be fixed before you can expect apache
(or other network applications) to work.
