hi, no it doesnt, see output:
centos6 ~]$ wget –inet4-only http://google.com
–2016-10-21 20:45:06– http://google.com/
Resolving google.com… failed: Temporary failure in name resolution.
wget: unable to resolve host address âgoogle.comâ
[onyeagbc@centos6 ~]$
and no, DNS resolution does'nt seem to be working.
Ok so what happens when you just
nslookup google.com
there is no nslookup on the server it hasnt been installed and I cant install it because nothing seems to be able to resolve. I tried to install it and go this error:
@centos6 ~]# yum install bind-utils
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit
