RE: dns resolution timeouts

[KELLY BROWN]

I can get to my cfengine server from the interface that has the ip address in dns on it.  That's why I just want to completely ignore the other interface, it doesn't need it.  Adding entries for the hosts file would be cumbersome as the ip addresses on that interface change frequently.

I've seen mention of adding functionality to CFE in the future to assign it to an interface to use, but a quickie in your case may be to just add a static route to the IP of your cfengine server and adding its entry in /etc/hosts.

Subject: dns resolution timeouts

Hello all:

 I have a cfengine client that has to physical interfaces.  One it uses to talk to cfengine and it has an ip address that is in dns.  The other it would like cfagent to ignore completely as it's causing a problem with dns timeouts as it's ip addresses are not in dns.  Is there some way for me to make it either ignore that interface or at least not try to resolve the ip's?

 Thx
