Address resolution question 1
Posted: 2019/06/12 15:07:24
I have defined "printer" in the hosts file of my UBNT Edgemax Lite (running dnsmasq). Whenever I do anything from the command line regarding 'printer' from any machine on the network, it always resolves correctly. However, in both my web browsers (Firefox & Google Chome), if I try to open the printer setup page, the browser bypasses my hosts file and tries to resolve it out on the Web - failing of course. When I add the domain into the browser window (printer.domainname) the browser then resolves correctly.
The hosts entry: nn.nn.11.124 printer printer.domainname
Is this (non-critical) phenomenon because of the way I have defined it, or just a browser 'thing'?
Thank you.
