After new install of Ubuntu15.10 my commands(ping, ssh, ...) are using different IP address than one resolved by nslookup, host, dig, ... How could this happen?
user@ubuntu-15-10:~$ nslookup foobar.com
Server: 127.0.1.1
Address: 127.0.1.1#53
Non-authoritative answer:
foobar.com canonical name = foobar.homeip.net.
Name: foobar.homeip.net
Address: 12.34.56.78
user@ubuntu-15-10:~$ host foobar.com
foobar.com is an alias for foobar.homeip.net.
foobar.homeip.net has address 12.34.56.78
user@ubuntu-15-10:~$ ping foobar.com

No entry for foobar.com in /etc/hosts
Anyone any idea?
I found a fix myslef after some investigation... Problem was in /etc/nsswitch.conf: at "hosts" line: "dns" entry should be before "wins" entry... I don't understand what's behind, however now it works like expected
