this bit us yesterday

Our SVR4 UNIX box stopped printing all of a sudden. Messed with lp services for an hour, finally decided to reboot the box (after TWO YEARS, NINE MONTHS and FOURTEEN DAYS uptime no less!!). When that didn't work, I attempted to ping a printer by name instead of IP address...

pklowesd@peter:PK-USA > ping PITS
PING sitefinder-idn.verisign.com (64.94.110.11): 56 data bytes

to which ping hangs on.

Changing the resolver order to use /etc/hosts before DNS fixed it.

Bastards.

BTW, here's a /. link [link|http://slashdot.org/articles/03/09/16/0034210.shtml?tid=126&tid=95&tid=98&tid=99|http://slashdot.org/...=95&tid=98&tid=99]
