From Bugzilla Helper: Description of problem: When starting the httpd service, it always tries to resolve the local hostname using a dns query, and therefore triggers an internet dial-in on my machine. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. hangup internet connection (or fire up ethereal and watch packets) 2. /sbin/service/httpd restart Actual Results: dns query -> dial-in Expected Results: nothing Additional info: Ethereal shows two dns queries, trying to resolve the local hostname (as shown by the 'hostname' command). This happens with the default apache configuration and the hostname set in /etc/hosts. Setting the "ServerName" in httpd.conf made no difference. Note that this didn't occur on RH 7.3.
This could be a resolver configuration issue: I can't reproduce this on RHL9 if the server hostname is /etc/hosts.
