Is it possible to use short DNS names, or to set up a search domain

Biser Todorov

I have a problem loading some internal Web pages when I am using short DNS names and have Scan HTTP enabled. For example if I try to open http://server1 it will give me an HTTP Error 502, everything is working fine if the full name is used http://server1.domain.local 

Is there an option to specify search domain, something that is available for Linux machines adding search xxxx.xxxx to /etc/resolv/conf or some other way of resolving this problem?

    That's normal. When you inquire server1 your OS will append the DNS suffix (domain.local in your case)

    On windows in you try to resolve server1 from nslookup it will show up:

    > nslookup server1

    But if you require server1 as a FQDN (with the dot at the end) it won't

    > nslookup server1.

     

    At the moment I'm unable to find a way for XG to set a search domain, nor I am sure it will do any good :P
