Hi , i have a Server A ( VM machine ) with ip 1.11.1 &nbsp;( for the shake of the example)<br />
I also have the old Server A ( physical machine ) with IP 2.2.2.2<br />
<br />
DNS record point to 2.2.2.2 ( old server)<br />
<br />
If i ping from Server A &nbsp;( #ping Server A ) it will resolve to 2.2.2.2<br />
I cant access the DNA records and change it.<br />
<br />
My DBA asked me to ( at least for now) change the host record on the VM server to point to its self ( 1.1.1.1 )<br />
Is there anything i can do on the VM machine to be able to ping it self correctly ?<br />
<br />
I understand that when i ping from any other machine it will resolve to 2.2.2.2<br />
<br />
Any input would be appreciated.

DNS issue on Red Hat Server

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
