Resolving names

[Javier Perez <pepebuho@xxxxxxxxx>]

Help. Looking at the about systemd-resolved question prompted me to try to clear a problem I am having with local DNS.

My home system have few pcs and other  devices, some of them with static ip addresses set at my local router.

My situation is that name resolution does not always work.

For example, if I do

pepebuho@pepewin:~$ dig bloody

; <<>> DiG 9.18.33 <<>> bloody
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 61697
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1

;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION:
; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 4096
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;bloody. IN A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
bloody. 0 IN A 192.168.1.5

;; Query time: 1 msec
;; SERVER: 192.168.1.1#53(192.168.1.1) (UDP)
;; WHEN: Tue Apr 29 03:01:45 EST 2025
;; MSG SIZE  rcvd: 51

It works, but if I try to ping it,

pepebuho@pepewin:~$ ping bloody
ping: bloody: Name or service not known
pepebuho@pepewin:~$ ping 192.168.1.5
PING 192.168.1.5 (192.168.1.5) 56(84) bytes of data.

64 bytes from 192.168.1.5: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.260 ms

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.260/0.319/0.378/0.059 ms
pepebuho@pepewin:~$

It falis! same thing happens with ssh.

I just work around it by using the ip addresses directly, but I remember it used to work several versions away.

How can I make it work again? I tried to solve it using grok as a helper but could not make it work.
