So I have two CentOS 7 machines running. if I am on my server and I do "curl http://192.168.1.8" I get data. If I do "host devgeis.LayeredSolutionsInc.com" I get the correct address 192.168.1.8 if I goto another machine with CentOS 7. I do "curl http://192.168.1.8" I get data. I do "host devgeis.LayeredSolutionsInc.com" I get the correct address 192.168.1.8 BUT then I do "curl http://devgeis.LayeredSolutionsinc.com" I get "nothing" BUt then doing the -v with "curl -v http://devgeis.LayeredSolutionsinc.com" * About to connect() to devgeis.LayeredSolutionsinc.com port 80 (#0) * Trying 198.168.1.8... So why when using the name is it not giving me the index.html page ? Should not be a firewall issue - as the actual address worked. Also I tried stopping the firewall - and all the above is the exact same. What is possibly happening here ? Thanks Jerry
