On centos 6 I cannot ping the hostname and get a reply without first resolving in the /etc/hosts file by adding a new entry: 192.168.0.47 server1.example.com.
But for centos 7 I am able to ping the hostname and get a reply even when I have not made any changes to the /etc/hosts file. Why is there this difference between centos 6 vs 7.
Sounds like mDNS/Avahi is not being used/referenced on/by 6.
