DNS resolution
Hi !
I have got a strange problem.
I get every evening a file from a ftp server.
Since few days, I cannot retrieve this file because of the following error :
ftp.server.com: unknown host or invalid literal address
But I don't get this error message any time.
Sometimes my ftp command works !!!
I have replace the name by the IP address and now no problem!
My computer is a linux, the /etc/resolv.conf has two lines
with the good nameserver.
I don't if the problem is on my computer or at the DNS sever level.
Best regards.

Or you could simply add an entry to your hosts file with the ip address of the server:
<ip address> ftp.server.com
<ip address> ftp.server.com

Add the following entry to your resolv.conf as a nameserver:
cache01.ns.uu.net 198.6.1.2
Whatever your primary nameserver entry is seems to be failing you.
