Subject: Problem with --host paramter to mysql
List-Archive: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/1165
Message-Id: <199903292253.AAA04689@pc126.psy.aau.dk>

>Description:
	mysql --host=name does not name resolve properly
	How-to-repeat shows that `mysql` can make a connection
        and --host=ip works fine.  But --host=name-that-corresponds-to-IP
        does not work.

>How-To-Repeat:

[seth@pc126] $ hostname
pc126.psy.aau.dk

[seth@pc126] $ mysql --host=pc126.psy.aau.dk
ERROR 2005: Unknown MySQL Server Host (pc126.psy.aau.dk) (2)
