Q. I have Debian Linux server in remote data center. I can ping server by its IP but not by hostname such as server.domain.com. How do I ping server by hostname?
A. This is client side DNS problem. All you have to do is setup correct DNS server:
=> Linux DNS Client Configuration
=> Solaris DNS Client Configuration
