ssh do not resolve hostname

[Jörg Frings-Fürst]

I got the error message:

####
ssh -pXXXX zaubermaus.home.local
ssh: Could not resolve hostname zaubermaus.home.local: Name or service not known

But dig reports:

####
dig zaubermaus.home.local

Thanks for reporting this bug.

Does 'ping zaubermaus.home.local' work?

Can you show the output of 'ssh -vvv zaubermaus.home.local' ?

[Jörg Frings-Fürst (jff-de)]

Sorry,

.local is a TLD with special handling in bind.

After change .local to .loc all works fine
