Re: Ping vs Notes Trace

[Chris Whisonant <Chris.Whisonant@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

According to this, Dekko has registered the 208 address on the public 
network. If this is no longer needed, you can probably request Sprint to 
remove that public DNS entry. Or you could just add NOTES01 to your host 
table on the System i.

As for why the OS and Domino are resolving to different addresses, I know 
that Domino caches the addresses in "$Savedxxx" fields on each server 
document. Look at those fields on your NOTES01 server and see if it has 
"internotes2.dekko.com" for the $SavedAddresses field. If so, you may want 
to check the server document and make sure that the internotes2.dekko.com 
isn't listed for the FQDN of that NOTES01 server. If it's there and still 
used, just put it into the host table with your internal address...
