I am setting up an IPCop 2.1.9 machine for my home LAN.  I have created 
fixed DHCP leases for two workstations.  When I try to ping from one 
workstation to the other workstation, and vice-versa, DNS is failing:

If I use the IP address, it works:

2017-06-01 22:13:09 dpchrist@jesse ~
$ ping -c 3 192.168.5.32

3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 1998ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.181/0.256/0.381/0.089 ms


I could add hosts entries on the workstations, but I'd rather let IPCop 
handle this for me (e.g. DHCP and DNS cache integration?).


I tried creating hosts entries on IPCop for the workstations, but that 
didn't work either.


Any comments or suggestions?
