1) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 81277) Posted 9 Mar 2017 by Dj Post: bakerlab.org hosts are not resolvable. None of the bakerlab.org hosts (boinc, ralph, srv[1-5], mail) are globally resolvable. I haven't been able to find any public DNS server that will resolve these (I was able to connect by writing static entries in my local hosts file). I tried the same in my Linux hosts, but even with nsswitch.conf set to resolve from files first, it would still refuse to find the local entries for the servers we need, and for reason I didn't bother to take a deep dive into. What I did find is that the whois-listed nameservers are reachable, and they do resolve the domain information, but have limited (or nonexistent) recursion, so on many of my systems that don't necessarily need to be resolving names of things other than R@H servers, I just set the domain's listed servers for those machines, and they continue to download/upload work. As to why something seems to be broken that is preventing the root nameservers from finding how to pass us along to bakerlab's servers, IDK... everything looks like it should be working, but there's a breakdown right inside there...
