Instead of using
pingto test the system's standard DNS resolution process, I propose usinggetentinstead since it doesn't require communication with the outside world.The
getentcommand with thehostsargument utilises the system's libc resolver to perform name lookups based on the configuration specified in/etc/nsswitch.conf. This approach ensures the testing of the system's actual name resolution pathway, as would be used by most applications and tools on the system that rely on DNS resolution.I tested the script in the Jakarta VM and it worked as expected.
