There are 2 ALPHA servers with above OS.

ALPHA1:   ping works though there is no entry in /etc/hosts for the target host.

     # ping ztbn1070
     PING ztbn1070.emea.zf-world.com (10.23.15.245): 56 data bytes
     64 bytes from 10.23.15.245: icmp_seq=0 ttl=63 time=12 ms
     64 bytes from 10.23.15.245: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=1 ms
     64 bytes from 10.23.15.245: icmp_seq=2 ttl=63 time=1 ms

     # nslookup ztbn1070
     Server:  bnns99990.emea.zf-world.com
     Address:  10.23.4.176

     Name:    ztbn1070.emea.zf-world.com
     Address:  10.23.15.245

ALPHA2: ping does not get an answer.

     # ping ztbn1070
     ping: unknown host ztbn1070

     # nslookup ztbn1070
     Server:  bnns99990.emea.zf-world.com
     Address:  10.23.4.176

     Name:    ztbn1070.emea.zf-world.com
     Address:  10.23.15.245

I guess for ALPHA2 there is a problem with the name service. On both machines /etc/resolv.conf are identical.

What is wrong with ALPHA2 ?
