hi
 
I have defined
search localhost in /etc/resolv.conf
 
cat /etc/resolv.conf
search localhost
 
i did not define any nameserver ip address in this file
 
i have given the gw ip from where the internet can be reached
 
no dns is running in gateway.
no dns service is running on the PC
no bind packages are installed on pc
 
but still if i ping to some domain like
ping www.google.com it resolves and displayes icmp replies.
 
 
i dont know from where this name resolution is taking place
 
please help on this what happens exactly.
