[asterisk-users] DNS Query Overload

[David Boyd]

Another item is the sequence for lookups!

So have you confirmed that your nsswitch.conf file has been set to look
at /etc/hosts first then dns?

G'day,
 
I've got this problem too.
 
I've tried altering my /etc/hosts files as per the suggestion, but my
DNS server is still being sent an A query - for every call.
 
Please help!
 
I'm using 1.4.21.2.
 
 
Cheers
Adam

        I have seen that before.  If I remember correctly, the solution
        was to
        put the IP Address of the Box in the /etc/hosts file.
        Like for example:
        192.168.2.1    asterisk.localhost
        
        If you have multiple interfaces with private IP addresses then
        put them
        all in the file.
