Re: Ping vs Notes Trace

Rob,

According to this, Dekko has registered the 208 address on the public 
network. If this is no longer needed, you can probably request Sprint to 
remove that public DNS entry. Or you could just add NOTES01 to your host 
table on the System i.

As for why the OS and Domino are resolving to different addresses, I know 
that Domino caches the addresses in "$Savedxxx" fields on each server 
document. Look at those fields on your NOTES01 server and see if it has 
"internotes2.dekko.com" for the $SavedAddresses field. If so, you may want 
to check the server document and make sure that the internotes2.dekko.com 
isn't listed for the FQDN of that NOTES01 server. If it's there and still 
used, just put it into the host table with your internal address...

Whether PING looks in the host table, or the DNS, first is dependent on 
the entry for
"Host name search priority"
in
Change TCP/IP Domain (CHGTCPDMN)
otherwise known as
CFGTCP 12. Change TCP/IP domain information
*LOCAL says host table first.
*REMOTE says DNS first.

I have *LOCAL.
I have no entries in "10. Work with TCP/IP host table entries" for 
NOTES01.

Apparently someone out there somewhere has NOTES01 mapped to that 208 
address.  But, since,
1 - I have removed those DN Servers from CHGTCPDMN
2 - Ping finds it as the other "local" address
Why does a server console trace find it otherwise?

... wait ...

After rebooting i5/os now even the server console trace is finding it as 

the "local" address.

trace notes01

Don't know why an i5/os reboot was necessary.  Heck one of the perceived 

advantages of running Domino on i5/os is the multiple dpars using 

separate 

subsystems, etc.  I shouldn't have had to even bounce the darn Domino 
server, let alone the whole i5/os lpar.  Especially since ping was fat, 
dumb and happy.

There's no server console command like the DOS command IPCONFIG to flush 

the dns, is there?

Ping I believe looks in the Host table first -- what entry do you have 
there for notes01 ?

Not sure what trace looks at first:  dns or host table.

Ping vs Notes Trace






On the i5/os command line I can type in
ping notes01
and it will return 
Verifying connection to host system NOTES01.dekko-1 at address
  10.10.1.189. 
PING reply 1 from 10.10.1.189 took 0 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 64. 
PING reply 2 from 10.10.1.189 took 0 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 64. 
PING reply 3 from 10.10.1.189 took 0 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 64. 
PING reply 4 from 10.10.1.189 took 0 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 64. 
PING reply 5 from 10.10.1.189 took 0 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 64. 
Round-trip (in milliseconds) min/avg/max = 0/0/0. 
Connection verification statistics: 5 of 5 successful (100 %).

Which is good.

However, at the domino console I type in 
trace notes01
and I get back:
Determining path to server NOTES01 
Available Ports:  TCPIP 
Checking normal priority connection documents only... 
Local network connection document found for NOTES01/DEKKO 
  Verifying address 'NOTES01.dekko.com' for NOTES01/DEKKO on TCPIP
    Requesting IP Address for NOTES01.dekko.com from DNS 
    DNS returned address 208.16.99.7 for NOTES01.dekko.com 
Which is BS.

Now, we did have wierd stuff in CHGTCPDMN.  Two of the three DN Servers 
did not make sense and it's being blamed on someone who no longer works 
here.  So we changed those two to something that makes sense.  Stopped 

the 

Domino server and started it back up.
Ping still returns 10.10.1.189.
Domino Trace still returns 208.16.99.7.

What now?  Reboot the iSeries?
