When you "ping server" and "ping server.domainname", you
get different results. Why?

Answer Posted / rk

If your are pointing to the DNS server why you need to add
it in a /etc/hosts

if you are not able to ping through hostname just type "dns"
in /etc/nsswitch.conf file if you try to access through
hostname it read the nsswitch.conf file this file will
point to dns server.
