samba - Apr 2017 - Samba AD with internal DNS: Can't resolve aliases anymore

Hi,

I've setup a Samba 4 based AD server a while ago and everything was
working fine for some time. However, since a few days it seems it
doesn't resolve aliases anymore. I can query them using the host
command, but a simple ping then fails to resolve the name:

% host alias1
alias1.altum.de is an alias for server1.
% ping alias1                                                             
ping: alias1: Name or service not known
% ping alias1.altum.de
ping: alias1.altum.de: Name or service not known
% cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.1.102
search altum.de

OTOH, if I try a non-existent alias, it looks like this:

% ping
alias2
:(
ping: alias2: No address associated with hostname

Any ideas how to debug/solve this?

System is Debian Stretch with Samba 4.5.8, installed from packages.

Thanks...

    Dirk

Check nsswitch.conf. Make sure you just have "iiles dns" in the hosts
line.

Yes, that's the case.
