I have dualserver working perfectly for DHCP, however, my DNS configuration seems to only resolve names if I specify the hostname.domainname format and not just the bare hostname. Normally, I'd try to configure the domain-name DHCP option for this but it seems this was replaced with the [DOMAIN_NAME] section where I did configure my domain name. However, I cannot look up hosts without specifying the domain name suffix each time. What am I doing wrong here? TIA!
example:
C:>ping host_0
Ping request could not find host host_0. Please check the name and try again.
C:>ping host_0.test.com

@Henry Nichols - I'm just seeing this now. It may be too late, but the fix in your case is to add the domain to search in the Windows IPv4 config (nothing to do with Dual Server).
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
a) This is single domain DNS Server. Your domain should always be
localdomain.com (even if not specified)
b) your request without a domain name may not go to Dual Server. Check for
returned server IP with NSLOOKUP command

Hi all,
I have dualserver working perfectly for DHCP, however, my DNS configuration seems to only resolve names if I specify the hostname.domainname format and not just the bare hostname. Normally, I'd try to configure the domain-name DHCP option for this but it seems this was replaced with the [DOMAIN_NAME] section where I did configure my domain name. However, I cannot look up hosts without specifying the domain name suffix each time. What am I doing wrong here? TIA!

Never mind - I guess I just needed to not specify the domain name to begin with! I thought I had to add something there. Apparently not!
I'm encountering the same, could you tell me how you got around this issue? This is my .ini file:
[DOMAIN_NAME]
localdomain.com
[DNS_HOSTS]
rac1=192.168.1.161
C:\WINDOWS\system32>nslookup rac1
Server: Gaby-PC.localdomain.com
Address: 192.168.1.9
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: rac1.localdomain.com
Address: 192.168.1.161
Aliases: rac1
C:\WINDOWS\system32>ping rac1
Ping request could not find host rac1. Please check the name and try again.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>ping rac1.localdomain.com
