Search Again: MacOS X Case-Sensitive DNS lookup bug From: Administrator Date: Wednesday, May 23, 2001 Time: 11:43:45 am Hi there, I am experiencing a DNS lookup problem and have verified it on two different machines running Mac OS X 10.0.3. It appears that the OS's DNS lookup is case-sensitive when it shouldn't be. Is there any possiblity that this is caused by my DNS server? Also, is anyone else having the same problem? A quick test would be to go to www.FaxBee.com. If it fails, go to www.faxbee.com. The second option works for me but the first does not. Also, on www.faxbee.com, the graphics don't load because they are linked to www.Danowitz.com which fails because of the capital "D". Using Mac OS X's Lookupd as described here: <http://til.info.apple.com/techinfo.nsf/artnum/n24902> These searches should all be successful, but only the one in lower-case letters is. >>> % lookupd -d lookupd version 208.1 (root 2001.04.26 20:41:08 UTC) Enter command name, "help", or "quit" to exit > agent: DNS > hostWithName: apple.com Dictionary: "D-0x000658f0" _lookup_DNS_domain: com _lookup_DNS_server: 216.52.26.204 _lookup_DNS_time_to_live: 86400 _lookup_DNS_timestamp: 990641785 _lookup_info_system: DNS ip_address: 17.254.3.183 name: apple.com > hostWithName: Apple.com nil > hostWithName: aPple.com nil > hostWithName: apPle.com nil > hostWithName: appLe.com nil > hostWithName: applE.com nil > hostWithName: APPLE.COM nil
